About this data

Obligations are dollars the federal government committed to UnitedHealth Group under awarded U.S. contracts (not grants or loans) in a fiscal year (Oct 1–Sep 30). Totals are summed across the company’s contracting subsidiaries via the federal recipient hierarchy — e.g. brand entities roll up to their public parent. In plain English: a rising federal book is a leading read on government revenue. Year-to-year swings are normal for lumpy, big-ticket programs. Source: USAspending.gov (public).
