Explore federal contract spending across all 50 states and territories. Compare contracting activity by place of performance, identify top-performing regions, and analyze geographic trends in government procurement.
Federal contract spending is distributed unevenly across the United States, with significant concentration in states hosting major military installations, federal agency headquarters, and defense industry corridors. Virginia consistently leads all states in federal contract obligations, driven by the Department of War and intelligence community presence in Northern Virginia. California, Texas, Maryland, and Florida round out the top five states by total obligated dollars. Together these five states typically account for over 40% of all federal contract spending. The geographic distribution reflects both place of performance for contract work and the concentration of federal workforce infrastructure. GovChime tracks place-of-performance data from FPDS award records to provide state-by-state breakdowns including total obligations, number of active opportunities, top contractors per state, and year-over-year spending trends.
