- What counts as spend: PO line totals on issued, fulfilled and closed-short POs. The six bid requests are excluded, and this is not vendor bills or payments from accounting.
- Period: every PO in the database was issued between July 10 and August 14, 2026, so this is all-time and only about five weeks of activity.
- Ordered vs. received: received value matches ordered value to within cents for every vendor, so ranking by receipts gives the same order.
- Zero-dollar vendors: Jill's Energy Source (2 POs) and Utah State Tax Commission (1 PO) have POs that total $0.
