From published federal subaward reporting: what a prime reported paying its subcontractors, and what this company was paid as a subcontractor. Federal work only, so commercial supply relationships are absent rather than nil. The prime on each row is identified by its government-issued entity identifier; the supplier is matched on name, because that identifier is not published for a sub-awardee, so a supplier whose name is written two ways may appear twice.
