Northrop Grumman contributions received by EMPLOYEES OF NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION PAC

Northrop Grumman meeting its employees’ PAC

NORTHROP GRUMMAN is the grouped employer key. EMPLOYEES OF NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION PAC is committee C00088591. This page reports itemized individual gifts that carried both labels. The $7,412,626 figure is the intersection. Connected-PAC name overlap is expected. The join still exists so the $10,915,801 industry hub is not treated as identical to the PAC hub.

Filers who typed NORTHROP, GRUMMAN, NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORP, or a sector name such as MISSION SYSTEMS may sit in other keys if stored separately. The PAC name includes CORPORATION; the employer key in this packet does not. That mismatch of suffixes is stored text, not an error to paper over.

One hundred seventy-nine thousand eight hundred forty-four contributions is among the highest line counts in this slice. Line count is not a headcount of the company.

Sixty-eight percent of the Northrop Grumman grouping

The NORTHROP GRUMMAN grouping shows $10,915,801 in itemized individual money. The employees’ PAC cell is $7,412,626, or about 68% of that total. About 32% of NORTHROP GRUMMAN-coded receipts went to other committees. Those leftover dollars are on the industry hub.

A two-thirds share is concentrated without being total. Candidate committees and other PACs still received a material slice of the employer string. The 68% figure applies to NORTHROP GRUMMAN as indexed, not to every Grumman-related spelling.

179,844 contributions and a $41 mean

EMPLOYEES OF NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION PAC received $7,412,626 from NORTHROP GRUMMAN-coded receipts across 179,844 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $41 per contribution. High line counts and low means are typical of long-running payroll-style PAC itemization.

Repeat givers raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The committee overlay for C00088591 also includes receipts whose employer field did not group to NORTHROP GRUMMAN.

Defense contractors on two ledgers

Northrop Grumman appears in USAspending as a federal contractor. Those obligations are not these PAC gifts. This join does not claim that the employees’ PAC funded contracts, or that contracts funded PAC contributions. Sharing a defense-company name across FEC and USAspending is a label coincidence, not a pipeline.

The employer field can lag a merger, a retirement, or a joint-venture assignment. Correlation between a contractor employer string and an employees’ PAC is a reporting pattern, not causation of procurement outcomes.

How to open each Northrop axis

The Northrop Grumman industry page keeps the $10,915,801 grouping and the other committees that received the remaining 32%. The employees’ PAC page keeps C00088591. All industries ranks other defense keys. All FEC ties lists neighboring employer-committee cells so this connected-PAC join is not mistaken for independent expenditures.

The 179,844-line count is among the highest in this slice, which is why the $41 mean is among the lowest. About $41 is $7,412,626 divided by 179,844. That scale check belongs next to the 68% share so readers do not treat a high-volume employees' PAC as a small-dollar curiosity or as the entire $10,915,801 grouping. The leftover 32% went to other committees.

Suffix mismatch: employer without CORPORATION, PAC with it

The employer key is NORTHROP GRUMMAN. The PAC name includes CORPORATION. That suffix difference is stored text, not an error to flatten. Filers who typed NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION may sit in another key if stored that way; they would not be in these 179,844 lines. The 68% share ($7,412,626 of $10,915,801) applies to the two-word employer key only.

Unitemized gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures are omitted. USAspending obligations that mention Northrop Grumman are omitted. Repeat givers raise the 179,844 count above any unique-person figure the packet does not publish. Quote C00088591, $7,412,626, 179,844 itemized lines, and the $10,915,801 grouping. Keep GRUMMAN-only and NORTHROP-only keys, if they exist, on their own hubs. Keep NORTHROP GRUMMAN without CORPORATION in the employer citation so a CORPORATION-suffix row, if indexed, remains separate. The 179,844-line count belongs next to $7,412,626. The leftover 32% of $10,915,801 is other committees on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts stay omitted.
