Definition
What this measures
Total obligations on federal contract awards (award types A, B, C and D: definitive contracts, purchase orders, delivery orders and BPA calls) where the awarding top-tier agency is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, summed over the federal fiscal year from transaction-level data reported to FPDS and published on USAspending.gov. Obligations are amounts the government committed, not outlays; de-obligations reduce the total. Fiscal years run 1 October to 30 September; only closed fiscal years are stored.

- Quality and confidence
- USAspending is refreshed daily as agencies report; Department of Defense contract actions are published with a 90 day delay, so the most recent closed year keeps moving for a quarter after it ends. The running fiscal year is a total to date and is not stored (set include_current_fiscal_year on the series to add it). A changed fiscal-year total is stored as a new row labelled with the fetch date. Searchable data begin fiscal year 2008.Ingestion rejects values outside 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000,000 US dollars.19 periods with values for this geography, 2007-10-01 to 2025-10-01.
