Who buys Product and Service Code 1520 (Aircraft, Rotary Wing), who wins it, what's open now and which contracts expire next — from FY2026 USAspending awards and live SAM.gov solicitations.
Contract data as of Oct 18, 2026 (USAspending) · recent coverage verified weekly
| Quarter | Awards | Obligated | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 FY2026 | 29 | $1.4B | — |
| Q2 FY2026 | 14 | $437.0M | -68% |
| Q3 FY2026 | 24 | $137.0M | -69% |
| Q4 FY2026 · partial | 6 | $123.6M | -10% |
Federal fiscal quarters (Q1 = Oct–Dec). Awards are counted in the quarter they start; obligations are the award's obligated amount. The Department of Defense publishes contract awards to USAspending with a 90-day delay, so Q4 FY2026 is still missing most DoD awards (DoD is 91% of this code's dollars) — treat that quarter as incomplete, not as a spending decline.
