Lobbying Disclosure Act query: quarterly reports naming five prime contractors, 2019 to 2025

Source: Lobbying Disclosure Act database, lda.gov API (the older lda.senate.gov address showed a maintenance page), run 9 November 2026. Query: filing_year for each of 2019 to 2025 and client_name substring (Lockheed Martin; Raytheon, RTX Corp and United Technologies; Boeing; General Dynamics; Northrop Grumman); original quarterly reports Q1 to Q4 only, so amended filings are excluded and superseded figures are not corrected. Amount is the income field (outside firms) or the expenses field (in-house). Figures are company-wide, all issues, not defense-only. The five companies sum to $519.7 million over 2019 to 2025, between $68.9 million and $81.2 million a year. The sums are the project's aggregation of filings matched by name.
