How much the US federal government pays AM General

Source. Every number on this page is fetched live from the public USAspending.gov API on every page load — no build-step snapshot, no pre-fetched JSON, no cached value. USAspending publishes the federal procurement record under a public-domain license, mandated by the DATA Act. The page restricts the query to prime-contract award type codes (A, B, C, D — BPA Calls, Purchase Orders, Delivery Orders, and Definitive Contracts), excluding grants, cooperative agreements, loans, and direct payments.

Vendor-alias map — and one substring trap. The page sums across the alias map below. The recipient is cleanly AM GENERAL LLC (which appears as more than one recipient record across legacy and current registrations), with a small AM GENERAL SERVICES, LLC services entity. The trap: a free-text search for AM GENERAL also matches unrelated recipients that merely contain the substring — e.g. a RAWL'S & HAM GENERAL CONTRACTING… firm. Anchoring the search on the full entity names captures every real AM General record and excludes the collision.

# /search/spending_by_category/recipient/  filters.recipient_search_text
recipient_search_text: [
  "AM GENERAL LLC",       # the prime vehicle manufacturer (all JLTV + HMMWV records)
  "AM GENERAL SERVICES"   # AM GENERAL SERVICES, LLC — the small services entity
]
# Anchored on the exact entities so the "…HAM GENERAL CONTRACTING…"
# substring collision is excluded from the rollup.
award_type_codes: ["A", "B", "C", "D"]   # prime contracts only

Foreign military sales are a feature here, not a footnote. A meaningful share of AM General's Humvee business is foreign military sales to allied governments (for example, Jordan), which the U.S. Army contracts and pays for on the partner's behalf. Because the Army is the contracting party, those vehicles appear in this record under the Army — so the "US government" total legitimately includes Humvees ultimately bound for partner militaries. Where an award description makes the FMS destination explicit, the named-program note says so.

Private company — no segment cross-check. AM General is privately held (owned by KPS Capital Partners since 2020) with no current SEC filings and no disclosed segment financials. Unlike the public contractors on this site, there is no company-side revenue line to triangulate the live USAspending number against — which makes this federal procurement record the cleanest public measure of AM General's federal business. For the rest of the financial picture that is public — the audited income statement AM General filed through fiscal 2001, the rated debt behind the 2020 buyout, and this proxy in context — see the AM General Financials page.

Classified work is not a factor. AM General builds unclassified wheeled vehicles for the Army, so the standard caveat that USAspending excludes classified contracts — load-bearing for an intelligence or space contractor — barely applies here. Essentially the entire portfolio is in the public record.

Subawards / flow-through are not here. If AM General is a subcontractor or integrator on another prime's program, USAspending records those dollars under the prime's recipient entity, not under AM General's; its own supplier spend is likewise out of scope. USAspending's separate subaward dataset is noisy and incomplete and is not joined into this page.

Commercial vehicles are not here. US federal customers only. AM General's commercial and non-federal vehicle business does not appear in this procurement record.

Named-program labels. The "Top contracts" table carries a named-program pill (e.g., JLTV (Family of Vehicles) or M997A3 Ambulance) above each award's official description, where the program is publicly documented in a primary source (Army / TACOM or DoD contract notification, GAO filing, AM General announcement). The lookup is conservative — awards without a publicly-documented program keep the boilerplate USAspending description and skip the pill.
