VERSIONED CONTRACT

These fields are stored with the methodology version. A changed contract must publish a new version before comparable movement can resume.

Prime-award contract transactions reported by USAspending within the trailing 365-day action-date period.

Formula: sum of qualifying Transaction Amount values by official USAspending recipient identity
Direction: descending
Tie Breaker: entity slug ascending
Primary Metric: federal-ai-transaction-obligation-usd
Negative Actions Included: Yes

Compared only with the latest earlier published snapshot using this exact methodology and query-contract version.

The board covers contract actions whose transaction descriptions explicitly contain a reviewed AI phrase.
Relevant work described without a reviewed phrase or outside the reviewed NAICS and PSC lists is excluded.
A matching transaction description indicates procurement scope, not that every dollar funds a standalone AI product.
USAspending corrections and deobligations can change a recipient's trailing-period net total.
