How to read this
- Amounts are obligations (money committed), not outlays (money paid).
- Business types are the vendor's status as certified for each contract action (small or other than small, woman-owned, veteran-owned, 8(a), HUBZone...). They overlap (a firm can be small, woman-owned and 8(a) at once), so they don't add up to the total. This is who got the money, not whether the contract was set aside.
- Share is of all contract amounts; cancellations (negative amounts) can push a share above 100% for small totals.
