Government Contracts

Government contracts data from USAspending.gov, the U.S. Treasury's official record of federal award spending. This page covers federal contracts across 63 agencies and 15,192 recipients whose work began in the last 3 months, showing which agencies commit the most value, which industries they buy from, and where the work is performed. Grants and other financial assistance are excluded, so every figure counts contracts only.

Source: USAspending.gov (U.S. Treasury), contracts only. Records held span 1977-06-01 to 2026-09-06 by work start date. Time windows select contracts whose period of performance began inside them, which is not the same as contracts awarded inside them. Award value is each contract's cumulative lifetime value, so a figure for a window is the total value of that cohort of contracts, not spending during the period. Records are still being ingested and coverage varies by agency, so values are shown as rankings rather than exact totals, and award counts and average award size are not shown at all. A further 5,467 contracts ($58.1B) carry no work start date and are excluded from every window above. Awards restate as they are amended, so totals move.
