$18 billion in federal contracts this year, over $9 billion not competed. They spend in the $10-20 million range each year in lobbying. Responsible for ~1/3 of the yearly registered 'misc defense' lobbying money; order of magnitude more than any other company.

Another thing that I don't understand... the values they report for how much they spent on lobbying don't line up at all with the reports from lobbyists... there's an order of magnitude difference there as well.
