Unitedhealth federal obligations by year
Each year adds up what USAspending records for each of these recipients in that fiscal year,
across all award types (for contractors, nearly all contracts). Counting recipients rather than parent links means awards filed under an old parent or an old
company name still count. A business bought from another company counts from when its records moved here.

|---|---|
| FY2026 | $25.07B |
| FY2025 | $25.43B |
