New federal awards in Kentucky, 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.
170 new federal awards of $1.0M or more were recorded with a primary place of performance in Kentucky in September 2025, worth $969M in total award value: $323M in contracts, $647M in grants.
That is more than the state's median month over the last two years (61 awards) and 1% of the 17,064 such awards recorded nationwide that month.
The most active awarding agencies were Department of Defense (51 awards), Department of Agriculture (16 awards) and Department of Transportation (28 awards).

Questions and answers
How many federal awards were made in Kentucky in September 2025?
170 new prime awards of $1.0M or more with a primary place of performance in Kentucky carry a base obligation date in September 2025, with a combined award value of $969M. Smaller awards and modifications to older awards are not counted.
Who received them?
Executive Office of the Commonwealth of Kentucky (15, $102M); County of Pike (1, $67M); BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. (1, $41M); Energy & Environment Cabinet (3, $40M); Lockheed Martin Corporation (8, $37M). Individuals are never listed.
Is award value the same as spending?
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.
