Its government footprint in one place: federal money, influence and market activity, each row linked to its source. Federal figures gathered Oct 25, 2026.
In plain words
The federal government obligated $903.2M in contracts to General Motors Co in the 12 months to Sep 2026, about 0.48% of its revenue over the same months. The most came from General Services Administration. 11 of its contracts, with $446.2M obligated on them so far, end in the next 18 months and may be competed again. It appears on 327 Senate lobbying filings from 2015 to 2026; 72 of the lobbyists on them once held government posts. In the last 12 months insiders sold 14 times ($196.4M) and bought 0 times ($0); 5 of the 5 sales whose filing shows the plan box were planned in advance.

From the company's Senate LDA filings. Firm fees and in-house spend are reported on different filings, so they are shown apart. Lobbying is legal and common; it shows what the company paid to be heard on, not what it got.

Every record that names this company by ticker, newest first: awards, bills, executive actions, SEC filings, news, private raises and patents.
USAspending (prime contracts only; no subcontracts or classified work; defense contracts can arrive up to 90 days after signing), SEC EDGAR, Senate LDA, FEC, House and Senate disclosures, the Federal Register and the White House. Companies are tied to records by exact name, a verified alias or a subsidiary in the company's own Exhibit 21; a miss is better than a wrong link. A shared date is not proof of cause, and nothing here is investment advice.
Obligated means an agency committed the money to this company in that period (a signed contract action), as reported to USAspending. It is not a payment and not revenue: a contract can be funded for several years at once, and revenue is booked as the work is done. Some years can exceed revenue for that reason.
Prime contracts only, and only what is published. Work the company does as a subcontractor is not in these figures, and classified contracts are not published on USAspending at all. A low share can mean either. Contract values, ceilings and options are never added in.
Which units count: the USAspending recipient that is the company's SEC registrant; units of the company that USAspending's own records place under it (as parent, or in its family tree); and subsidiaries from the company's SEC Exhibit 21 that carry its name. Joint ventures, units now owned by someone else, and records that only share a name are held back. Both lists are below.
Earlier years count the units the company owns today. A unit we checked by hand (its USAspending parent is out of date) counts from the date the company bought it, or, where no filing gives that date, from the first date a filing shows the company owning it. Other units count for every year shown until their purchase dates are loaded.
Revenue bars are the company's own fiscal year from its 10-K, placed in the federal year it ends in; its fiscal year can end in a different month than the government's.
Fiscal year 2022 onward. Federal fiscal years run October to September; the company's own fiscal year may differ.
Held back: a matching name we could not tie to this company firmly enough. A miss is better than a wrong link.
Amount: obligated to date on the contract, all years. Ranked by that amount among contracts with any action in the last 12 months. Counts only consolidated subsidiaries.
Amount: obligated to date. From the contracts in HillSignal's records tied to this ticker; the full list of contracts ending across government is on Recompetes.

The company's own PAC (linked by the connected organization on its FEC Form 1). Top candidates it gave to, all cycles we hold, from the candidates' own FEC reports; tracked candidates only, so not a complete total.
Open-market buys and sells from SEC Form 4 filings; grants and option exercises left out, and trades whose filed price failed our market check. A 10b5-1 plan is a trading schedule set in advance, so those sells say little about the insider's view. The plan box is on filings from April 2023 on.
