Monthly award list · Illinois
New federal awards in Illinois, September 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.
535 new federal awards of $1.0M or more were recorded with a primary place of performance in Illinois in September 2025, worth $2.8B in total award value: $1.4B in contracts, $1.4B in grants, $27M in loan face value.
That is more than the state's median month over the last two years (147 awards) and 3.1% of the 17,064 such awards recorded nationwide that month.
The most active awarding agencies were Department of Defense (237 awards), Department of Transportation (108 awards) and Department of Veterans Affairs (22 awards).

Questions and answers
How many federal awards were made in Illinois in September 2025?
535 new prime awards of $1.0M or more with a primary place of performance in Illinois carry a base obligation date in September 2025, with a combined award value of $2.8B. Smaller awards and modifications to older awards are not counted.
Who received them?
Illinois Department of Transportation (84, $522M); W S Darley & Co (95, $390M); City of Chicago (11, $146M); General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, Inc. (1, $133M); Supplycore LLC (48, $130M). Individuals are never listed.
