New federal awards in Montana, May 2026Awards of $1 million or more with a place of performance in Montana
USAspending shows 30 new awards of $1 million or more in Montana in May 2026.
The place of performance of each award is in the state. The base obligation date is in the month.
The award value of these awards is $79M.

Procurement data (such as for contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles (IDV)) for the Department of Defense (DOD) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) are published on a 90-day delay in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS).

The amounts on this page are obligations. An obligation is a promise to pay. It is not a payment. Contract records of the Department of Defense come late, so a recent month can be low.
