The next largest relationships are with SAMHSA, CDC, and the Department of Education, showing a strong health, human services, and education portfolio rather than a defense-heavy profile.

Smaller but still material obligations under 541219 and 541690 reinforce a services-oriented portfolio with research, analytical, and technical support work.
Annual contract trend over the analysis window
Annual obligations peaked in 2024 at $687.37 million across 800 awards after rising from $419.35 million in 2021 to $469.42 million in 2022 and $546.24 million in 2023. The 2025 total of $290.04 million across 657 awards is lower than the prior year, but the period is not necessarily complete, so it should be treated as a partial-year snapshot.
