Who’s Capturing the Largest Share of Army Dollars? Underlying Subsidiaries Bring in Big Dollars.

January 29th, 2010 | Posted by Ashok Mehan

We all know the names of the largest prime contractors doing business with the federal government, but seldom do we get to analyze the market share of separate reporting units of those large organizations. To get such an idea, we separated out large prime contractors such as Lockheed, SAIC, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon (to name a few) by their individual reporting units.

The Fedmine report we prepared (Top 100 Individual Prime Contracting Entities by Market Share at the Dept of Army) compares single whole corporations or the individual subsidiaries / reporting units of large parent organizations (as indicated by distinct DUNS numbers; aggregate parent entities were not included). The report covers a 7 year period at the Department of the Army, including the current fiscal year as of January 26, 2010. The top contractor may come as a shock, because it is an entity not among the large organizations named above. This top contractor is not entirely unknown, but it is a name one might use as a “lifeline” to “phone a friend” in a quiz contest such as “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”.

Note: If company names appear twice, it is because that entity has a unique DUNS number. Future Fedmine updates will add the division name of each entity for further clarity.
