New federal awards in Illinois, August 2025
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.
216 new federal awards of $1.0M or more were recorded with a primary place of performance in Illinois in August 2025, worth $2.5B in total award value: $689M in contracts, $1.8B in grants, $6.7M in other assistance.
That is more than the state's median month over the last two years (147 awards) and 2.5% of the 8,521 such awards recorded nationwide that month.
The most active awarding agencies were Department of Transportation (22 awards), Environmental Protection Agency (9 awards) and Department of Defense (90 awards).

Questions and answers
How many federal awards were made in Illinois in August 2025?
216 new prime awards of $1.0M or more with a primary place of performance in Illinois carry a base obligation date in August 2025, with a combined award value of $2.5B. Smaller awards and modifications to older awards are not counted.
Who received them?
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (7, $549M); Chicago Transit Authority (1, $444M); Northeast Illinois Railroad Co (1, $248M); Illinois Department of Transportation (14, $206M); W S Darley & Co (28, $170M). Individuals are never listed.

No. Award value is the amount obligated to the award so far as USAspending reports it; obligations are commitments, and outlays (actual payments) follow later, often over several years.
