Obligations are what agencies committed on contracts (award types A to D; grants, loans and direct payments are not counted), by federal fiscal year from October to September; the running year is to date. They are not revenue: a multi-year award lands in the year it is signed and is spent later. Each company is the sum of the legal entities that name it as parent, matched by name; a subsidiary registered under another parent is missed, and a company outside the largest recipients is not scanned.
