Measurement technique

How to read this report

  1. 01A record requires an identifiable public-sector buyer, procurement program, or contract action in source-backed coverage.
  2. 02Reported amounts remain in the story record until a dedicated normalized award field is verified.
  3. 03Announcements and awards are not treated as equivalent unless the source explicitly says the contract was awarded.
