Google’s U.S. Fed Sales Down
Total Telecom (UK) looked up some Google numbers on USASpending.gov and learned that Google contract dollars were down in 2008 from 2006.
Google’s contracts with U.S. federal agencies have declined from $413,960 in 2006 to $81,046 in 2008.
In addition, customers listed for Google in 2006 including the Agriculture and Treasury departments do not appear in the 2008 numbers.
The government’s accounting year begins Oct. 1 and ends the following Sep. 30. For the first months of the 2009 accounting year since September, Google has won $4,030 in federal contracts, according to the data.
It’s not clear how much of the contracts was for geospatial technology.
