Key figures

  • LOCKHEED MARTIN as FEC employer text totals $15,736,045 from 3,202 donors.
  • 117,499 contribution lines sit under that firm string.
  • BOEING, NORTHROP GRUMMAN, and HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL are separate FEC keys.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry, PAC total, or contract ledger.

A prime-contractor name on Schedule A

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. LOCKHEED MARTIN is a firm name as typed on individual receipts. The $15,736,045 total is those itemized gifts. It is not Lockheed’s disclosed PAC spending, not USAspending contract dollars, and not a NAICS 3364 guided-missile and space-vehicle rollup.

People who typed LOCKHEED without MARTIN, a business-unit legal name, or ENGINEER without the firm sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into this key.

3,202 donors and 117,499 lines

3,202 unique donors produced 117,499 LOCKHEED MARTIN contribution lines totaling $15,736,045. That is on the order of 37 itemized receipts per donor — high line volume relative to the unique-person count. Recurring itemized gifts can produce that shape. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $15,736,045. Unitemized gifts never appear.

Defense-firm siblings

BOEING, NORTHROP GRUMMAN, and HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL each have their own employer-name pages and their own dollar, line, and donor counts. Combining them with LOCKHEED MARTIN would be a researcher-built primes recode. This page stays at $15,736,045 for LOCKHEED MARTIN only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the firm. ENGINEER as an industry key still holds staff who omitted the company name. FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION is an agency string, not a contractor string.

Donor table without contract inference

The LOCKHEED MARTIN donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a program name, a Pentagon award ID, or a motive to that line. Former employees who still type the brand share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not a security-clearance roster.

Repeat names are expected among 117,499 lines from 3,202 people. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the firm string.

LOCKHEED MARTIN’s 117,499 lines from 3,202 donors totaling $15,736,045 should be compared with BOEING, NORTHROP GRUMMAN, and HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL as separate stored strings, not summed into a primes industry. ENGINEER still holds staff who omitted the company. Unitemized gifts, USAspending obligations, and the company PAC stay out. Occupation pages show titles beside the firm. The donor table does not attach a program ID to a large gift. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, self-reported employer text, not NAICS 3364.
