Where this comes from. Every row is a contract award FlightBrief has reported, or has logged from the buyer's notice (for the US Department of War, its daily contract announcements) or the company's announcement, which its note links; it is not a census of every award. A firm value is money ordered, obligated or agreed as a price. A ceiling is the most an IDIQ, framework or "up to" award could be worth, and is usually far more than is ever spent, so the totals above the table never add the two. Figures are shown as announced; the US dollar column converts them at the European Central Bank's reference rates of Oct 9, 2026, one rate for every row, for comparison only. An award shared by several suppliers with one value is one row; one with a value per supplier is a row each.
