New federal awards in California, August 2026Awards of $1 million or more with a place of performance in California
USAspending shows 368 new awards of $1 million or more in California in August 2026.
The place of performance of each award is in the state. The base obligation date is in the month.
The award value of these awards is $3.0B.
The median of the last 24 months in California is 370 such awards. A month with no such award is not in the median.
All states together have 4,101 such awards in August 2026.
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).
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 .
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.
