The following is a list of the Top 100 U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) prime contractors in fiscal year 2022 ranked by total contract funds awarded. The DoD had defense contract award obligations of $423.9 billion in FY22, up 7 percent from $395.7 billion in FY21 . The top 100 FY22 contractors accounted for $258.4 billion (61 percent) of the obligated dollars, compared to $245.76 billion (62 percent) in FY21.
In FY22, the DoD’s share of available funding was $1.64 trillion, or 14.3 percent, of the FY22 U.S. federal budget. This is an increase of 8.6 percent compared to the DoD’s share of the U.S. federal budget for FY21 of $1.51 trillion, or 12.4 percent.
Data was sourced from USASpending.gov and compiled and processed by Forecast International. Please note: The awards listed below are from the DoD only; hence, totals will not match federal contract totals, which include awards by other government agencies. A top 100 Contractors Report listing all federal agencies was released in late in 2023 on SAM.gov
