Data coverage

What has been pulled, when, and how completely. Every ingest run is recorded; linkage and enrichment gaps are displayed as measured values, not hidden. Totals elsewhere on the site are totals of the ingested set described here.

About this data

Bounded ingest, not a census: 29,750 contract awards currently loaded (1,593 with full transaction history), per the scope in outlay.config.json. Totals are totals of the ingested set.
Dollar amounts are obligations — money the government has promised to pay, not cash already out the door. Agencies report this data themselves; the Defense Department publishes ~90 days late; the current budget year is still in progress. See methodology.
Outlay (paid-out) figures cover only awards that link between contract records and agency financial reports: for Department of Veterans Affairs, 1,648 of 5,855 reported contracts ($32.3B of $48.5B in FY2026 gross outlays) as of FY2026 period 9. Awards without a link show obligations only — that is a coverage fact, not a spending fact.
Source records republish silently; Outlay keeps its own append-only version archive from first pull onward. Post-publication revisions recorded so far: 2,258 awards (2,273 revisions). Revisions are routine (spending progresses, errors get corrected) and are not themselves evidence of anything.

Latest ingest runs

The 10 most recent runs, newest first. Award runs pull search results and enrich detail/transaction data; File C runs pull agency financial (outlay) reports.

File C linkage coverage

Agency financial reports (File C) link to contract records by PIID. Rows, contracts, and dollars that do not link are counted here — awards without a link show obligations only, and that is a coverage fact, not a spending fact. Each row is the latest reporting period pulled for that fiscal year.

Agency	As of	Rows linked	Contracts linked	Dollars linked	Pulled
Department of Veterans Affairs	FY2026 P9	12,685 / 55,376 (22.9%)	1,648 / 5,855 (28.1%)	$32.3B / $48.5B (66.6%)	Aug 5, 2026, 18:57 UTC
Department of Veterans Affairs	FY2025 P12	16,471 / 104,446 (15.8%)	1,801 / 8,230 (21.9%)	$31.8B / $81.7B (39.0%)	Aug 5, 2026, 18:53 UTC
Department of Veterans Affairs	FY2024 P12	4,977 / 106,124 (4.7%)	1,124 / 8,469 (13.3%)	$3.1B / $75.2B (4.1%)	Aug 5, 2026, 18:52 UTC

Enrichment coverage

Search-phase ingest captures core award fields; enrichment adds competition and contract-value detail (from the award endpoint) and the full transaction (modification) history. Un-enriched awards show search-phase fields only.

Measure	Awards	Share of ingested
Awards ingested	29,750	100.0%
Detail-enriched (competition, contract values)	1,593	5.4%
Transaction-enriched (modification history)	1,593	5.4%

Revision archive

Source records republish silently; Outlay keeps a content-hashed copy of every record from every pull. Post-publication revisions recorded so far: 2,258 awards with at least one recorded content change, across 2,273 revision versions. Revisions are routine (spending progresses, errors get corrected) and are not themselves evidence of anything.
