1Ownership changes while the contract runs
This contract began in January 2006 and runs to June 2026. Over more than twenty years the corporate position of the recipient changed. Sikorsky Aircraft was long held under United Technologies before Lockheed Martin acquired it in 2015. Because contract records preserve the recipient name as of award, it continues to appear on the record as an independent company.
2On the side where outlays are recorded
Outlays of about $202.5 million work out to 3.3 percent of obligation. Among the records this site holds as of 2026-09-02, even the 92 with outlays recorded have a median ratio of 1 percent, so this contract sits among those where recorded spending has progressed further. Having been performed across twenty years may show in that figure, though the record states no reason.
3An empty description
The description field on this contract is empty, and what was procured cannot be read from the record. The recipient name suggests rotary-wing procurement, but since the record does not state it, this site does not present the inference as fact. Among the defense contract records this site covers, empty or coded description fields are common, and the size of the value does not track the detail of the record.
4Following corporate lineage
Aggregating by recipient requires judgment about subsidiaries and acquired companies. Counting Sikorsky 11 records as an independent company or folding them into Lockheed Martin changes who appears at the top. On this site, recipient display names are decided through a single helper, keeping the resolution of companies managed in one place.
Why it matters
On contracts running twenty years, the ownership of the recipient can change mid-performance. Analysis by recipient turns on how subsidiaries and acquired companies are handled, which shapes who appears at the top.
