The current fiscal year is still being reported (Defense contracts arrive about 90 days late).
Awards are tagged by words in their description; Jev (an AI that answers yes/no with a probability, not text) judged whether each of the 45 word-tagged awards is really about columbia-class submarines and which kind. The numbers themselves come from the records. The largest left out:
Each award's description says which side it's on; its product or service code says what kind of purchase it is.
