Social Security Releases Contractor Information

    Social Security has released its annual Service Contract Inventory, which shows how much was made to each of the agency's service contractors. If you go to the trouble, you can find how much was paid not only to Lockheed Martin but to each medical consultant or vocational expert. I did a quick review and came up with this list of the biggest contractors:

• Lockheed Martin $72 million
• Computer Sciences Corporation $34 million
• Microtechnologies LLC $32 million
• Northrup Grumman $31 million
• ABT $22 million

     Note that this is a list of service contractors. It does not include hardware purchases or rent, for instance.
