Boeing received $39.4 billion of the $184 billion in NASA contract awards DRM3's federal spending instrument observed over the last 90 days, a 21.4% share concentrated in just 13 of 7,815 observed awards.[^1]

The concentration is worth noting on its face: 13 awards captured more than a fifth of the total observed pool. Among the largest award identifiers logged were NAS1510000, NNM07AB03C, and 80MSFC20C0052.

The read here is that the numbers are striking but not yet dispositive. DRM3's instrument measured observed awards, not the complete federal record, so the actual share of NASA's full contracting activity could differ in either direction. What this measurement establishes is Boeing's position within what the instrument did capture.

## What this stands on

1. THE BOEING COMPANY received $39,392,902,832 of the $184,049,610,360 in awards DRM3's federal spending instrument observed from National Aeronautics and Space Administration over the last 90 days, a 21.4% share across 13 of 7,815 observed awards. The share is computed over observed awards, not the complete federal record. The largest observed award ids include NAS1510000, NNM07AB03C, 80MSFC20C0052.
