New federal awards in Nebraska, July 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.
38 new federal awards of $1.0M or more were recorded with a primary place of performance in Nebraska in July 2026, worth $182M in total award value: $6.4M in contracts, $176M in grants.
That is more than the state's median month over the last two years (30 awards) and 0.8% of the 4,520 such awards recorded nationwide that month.
The most active awarding agencies were Department of Education (11 awards), National Science Foundation (6 awards) and Department of Transportation (8 awards).
