Monthly award list · Illinois
New federal awards in Illinois, December 2024
Prime awards of $1.0M or more with a base obligation date in the month and a primary place of performance in the state.
USAspending caveat. Figures are obligations reported by federal agencies to USAspending.gov, not payments. In USAspending's words: "An outlay occurs when federal money is actually paid out, not just promised to be paid ('obligated')." "Every agency has a Senior Accountable Official who must officially certify that the quarterly financial data submitted by their agency is accurate and complete." "If there are any discrepancies in procurement data, FPDS is the authoritative source." Contract data for the Department of Defense and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is published with a 90-day delay. Data loaded 30 Sep 2026; agencies keep reporting into recent months.
175 new federal awards of $1.0M or more were recorded with a primary place of performance in Illinois in December 2024, worth $1.4B in total award value: $547M in contracts, $839M in grants, $1.1M in other assistance.
That is about the same as the state's median month over the last two years (147 awards) and 2.6% of the 6,722 such awards recorded nationwide that month.
The most active awarding agencies were Department of Defense (41 awards), Department of Housing and Urban Development (26 awards) and Department of Transportation (10 awards).
