FEATURES: Top 200 Contractors About the Numbers
The rankings of top contractors and top-spending agencies in this issue are compiled for Government Executive by Eagle Eye Publishers Inc. of Fairfax, Va., from data contained in the General Services Administration's Federal Procurement Data System-Next Generation for fiscal 2004. The center gets its information from reports on contracting filed by agencies.
Most vendors in the rankings are private, for-profit U.S. companies, but universities, nonprofit institutions and foreign-owned firms also are represented. Agencies are required to report on all transactions valued at $2,500 or more. Spending by intelligence agencies is omitted.
Companies ranked in this issue are parent companies; outlays to subsidiaries are "rolled up" to the parent. For joint ventures, we have assigned each partner an equal portion of payments made under the contract in 2004. Mergers and acquisitions are not reflected in the listings unless they became final before fiscal 2004 ended.

CORRECTION: The original version of this article said that the data in the Top 200 Contractors issue cover only prime contracts worth more than $25,000. As of fiscal 2004, agencies are required to report all transactions of $2,500 or more. The article has been updated to correct the error.
