TOTE Services' $2.21 billion Navy contract action tops the $9.04 million median
A Department of the Navy contract action of $2,206,000,000 to TOTE Services, LLC, dated July 13, 2026, is the largest amount among DoD contract actions of $1 million or more in the latest 120 days of USASpending records.
USASpending records a contract action as an obligation, a commitment to pay rather than money already spent, so the figure shows the size of what the government has committed on one action compared with the typical action in the same set.
USASpending lists a Department of the Navy contract action of $2,206,000,000 to TOTE Services, LLC, dated July 13, 2026, under contract number N0002426C2421 and titled "SEE THE STATEMENT OF WORK." It is the largest amount among the DoD contract actions of $1 million or more in the latest 120 days of the source's records.
The comparison point for that window is the median amount of those records: $9,041,817. Half the records in the window are larger than that figure and half are smaller, so the TOTE Services action sits far above the middle of the distribution rather than near it.
Against the source's earlier complete records dated March 15 to July 13, 2026, the $2,206,000,000 amount ranks at the 100th percentile of 883 records, whose median is $10,088,553. On the ratio scale used for that comparison it is about 11.4 typical spreads above the median, where a typical spread of 0.205 means records of this kind commonly differ by roughly a factor of 1.6.
A USASpending transaction amount is an obligation, a commitment to pay, not money already paid, and it is separate from a contract's ceiling value, the maximum the contract could reach. DFARS 205.303, the DoD rule on announcing contract awards, is the framework behind the announcements, and DoD's reporting into USASpending arrives late, so the newest weeks of the window are thin.
Other large amounts in the same set include Raytheon Company at $1,809,613,484.55 and Lockheed Martin Corporation at $1,603,067,858, both below the TOTE Services action.
Room for disagreement
One record far above a median does not establish a trend, and the comparison rests on a single 120-day window. DoD's late reporting to USASpending also leaves the newest weeks of that window incomplete, which can move the median the figure is measured against.
