New federal awards in Minnesota, September 2026
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.
127 new federal awards of $1.0M or more were recorded with a primary place of performance in Minnesota in September 2026, worth $508M in total award value: $103M in contracts, $405M in grants.
That is more than the state's median month over the last two years (60 awards) and 1.6% of the 7,744 such awards recorded nationwide that month.
The most active awarding agencies were Department of Transportation (63 awards), Department of Health and Human Services (23 awards) and Department of Agriculture (12 awards).

Questions and answers
How many federal awards were made in Minnesota in September 2026?
127 new prime awards of $1.0M or more with a primary place of performance in Minnesota carry a base obligation date in September 2026, with a combined award value of $508M. Smaller awards and modifications to older awards are not counted.
Who received them?
Minnesota Department of Transportation (40, $188M); Metropolitan Council Minnesota (1, $45M); City of Mankato (5, $29M); The Kinetic Group Sales LLC (13, $26M); Regents of the University of Minnesota (5, $26M). 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.
