Federal awards today: Aerojet Rocketdyne Coleman Aerospace INC books $37.7 million in new obligations from Department of Defense

Corrections

Correction withdrawn (methodology). This describes a change that was reversed and is NOT in the text below. An earlier version of this story described cumulative contract obligations to date as money newly awarded, and compared awards against a percentile computed on an unfiltered sample. Dollar figures below reflect the original text; the current methodology names each metric explicitly, and the corrected figures now stand on the Federal Spending desk.

Correction withdrawn (figure). This describes a change that was reversed and is NOT in the text below. Recomposed on 2026-08-02 from the same award rows by the desk's current composer. Every line is re-rendered, so each figure now wears the name the source gives it: a running obligation total is called obligations to date and never money awarded, each agency benchmark is the one the row carries today, and every recipient is printed with the government-issued unique entity identifier the row holds, because a recipient NAME in this record can cover more than one registrant. The headline changed for the same reason. It read: "Federal awards today: Aerojet Rocketdyne Coleman Aerospace INC draws $1.13 billion from Department of Defense". 1 award line was withdrawn rather than restated, each with its reason: "Putz Security Ag's award from Department of State has grown 1244.2x since we first observed it at $16,411." No row in the record resolves that sentence, so there is nothing to restate it from. The written body has been withdrawn too. It restated the figures above and cited the lines by position, so once the lines were recomposed it described a story that no longer exists, and it drew connections between adjacent awards that the record does not support. It is preserved in full in this story's revision trail. 9 fact lines stand. The underlying award rows are unchanged, the story keeps its permalink and its place in the edition, and nothing has been deleted.

Correction withdrawn (figure). This describes a change that was reversed and is NOT in the text below. Recomposed on 2026-08-03 from the same award rows by the desk's current composer. Every line is re-rendered, so each figure now wears the name the source gives it: a running obligation total is called obligations to date and never money awarded, each agency benchmark is the one the row carries today, and every recipient is printed with the government-issued unique entity identifier the row holds, because a recipient NAME in this record can cover more than one registrant. Comparisons against the rest of an agency's awards are held to a stated population of at least 100 observed awards. Where the source does not say how many awards a benchmark was computed over, the comparison is dropped and the plain observed amount stands in its place, and where a share is printed it now names the agency's own award count rather than the recipient's. The headline changed for the same reason.

Corrected (dateline). This edition is dated 29 July 2026, but its body reports the record as it stood on 2 August 2026. After publication the story was recomposed against the live mirror rather than against the day it went to press, so the opening shape line (19,632 leads synced at press time) and the figures that follow describe 2 August, not 29 July. The award rows themselves are unchanged and each fact line still carries its own source date. The original 29 July text was not preserved and cannot be restored, so this notice stands in its place. The recompose tool now refuses to rewrite a back issue.
