Monthly award list · Iowa
New federal awards in Iowa, 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.
103 new federal awards of $1.0M or more were recorded with a primary place of performance in Iowa in August 2025, worth $2.0B in total award value: $1.4B in contracts, $562M in grants, $21M in other assistance.
That is more than the state's median month over the last two years (48 awards) and 1.2% of the 8,521 such awards recorded nationwide that month.
The most active awarding agencies were Department of Defense (23 awards), Department of Transportation (49 awards) and Department of Housing and Urban Development (2 awards).

Questions and answers
How many federal awards were made in Iowa in August 2025?
103 new prime awards of $1.0M or more with a primary place of performance in Iowa carry a base obligation date in August 2025, with a combined award value of $2.0B. Smaller awards and modifications to older awards are not counted.
Who received them?
MSM Group North America Inc. (2, $1.3B); Iowa Department of Transportation (40, $263M); Economic Development Authority Iowa (1, $135M); Rockwell Collins, Inc. (14, $63M); Iowa Department of Natural Resources (4, $52M). 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.
