US Federal Receivables and Obligations

Overview

US Federal Receivables and Obligations is produced by TenderAlpha, which collects government contract award data from official government sources, covering awarded contracts since 2010 across more than 65 countries. Awarded companies are mapped to ticker symbols where publicly listed and to tax identifiers where private, and TenderAlpha's feeds cover contract awards, US federal subcontracting, and derived indicators such as contract receivables, terminations, and country-level procurement aggregates.

This is a company-by-day panel of US federal government contract receivables and obligations for approximately 3,100 publicly listed, ticker-mapped federal suppliers, observed daily from January 2012. For each company and observation date, forward-looking columns aggregate the USD amounts still due for obligation across all of the company's active federal contracts, allocated by each contract's end date into 3-, 12-, 36-, and 60-month windows plus an all-horizons total; backward-looking columns record the USD obligations made to date over the same windows. Companies are identified by BizPortal ID, name, ticker symbol, and ISIN. The dataset contains approximately 16 million rows as of July 2026. The long daily panel supports research on contractor dependence on federal revenue, the relationship between contract backlog and firm-level financial performance, and how procurement flows respond to policy and budget cycles.

Methodology

Computed by TenderAlpha from US federal contract award data collected from official government sources. For each company and date, outstanding and received obligation amounts are aggregated across all of the company's active federal contracts, using each contract's end date to allocate amounts into the forward-looking windows. Covered companies are publicly listed suppliers mapped to tickers and ISINs.

Additional Notes

This is an aggregated feed — individual underlying contracts are not identified, so contract-level analysis requires TenderAlpha's award-level feeds. Coverage is limited to publicly listed, ticker-mapped suppliers.
