The states where the work of the awards of $1 million or more is done. The swatches go from the smallest award value to the largest. The largest is District of Columbia: $37M.

District of Columbia: the address of the recipient.

The amounts for each state. Outlines: US Census Bureau.

An outlay occurs when federal money is actually paid out, not just promised to be paid ("obligated").
Procurement data (such as for contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles (IDV)) for the Department of Defense (DOD) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) are published on a 90-day delay in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS).
Maintaining data quality for the award description field has been persistently challenging for federal agencies.

These are the words of USAspending. Sources: USAspending.gov, About the Data (PDF, last updated 19 November 2025) and USAspending.gov, Glossary. The site copied them on 2 Oct 2026.

The amounts on this page are obligations. An obligation is a promise to pay. It is not a payment. Contract records of the Department of Defense come late, so a recent month can be low. The text under a name in a list of awards is the description that the agency wrote.

Since the last update

No change is on record for this page.

The site compares each data load with the load before it. It records a change of the FY2027 obligations when the change is $1 million or more and 10% or more. It also records each new award of $1 million or more.

Obligations by fiscal year

Obligations to The Urban Institute by fiscal yearA fiscal year starts on 1 October. "Under $1 million" is a year below the listing floor: the amount is not zero, and the site does not list it. FY2027 runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. USAspending loaded these data on 30 Sep 2026, so the figures of FY2027 stop on that date.
Fiscal year	All obligations	Contracts	Other awards
FY2023	$42M	$17M	$25M
FY2024	$24M	$12M	$12M
FY2025	$1.5M	under $1 million	$1.5M
FY2026	$7.9M	$5.7M	$2.2M
FY2027 to date	under $1 million

Contracts are the procurement award types. Other awards are grants, direct payments, loans (subsidy cost) and other assistance. The contracts figure shows only when contracts alone are $1 million or more.
