About This Data
These statistics are generated daily from CapitolBids' database of US federal contract notices, loaded from the SAM.gov public contract opportunities data, with award amounts from USAspending.gov where matched. Published values reflect award amounts where available, otherwise estimated notice values; notices without a stated value are excluded from value totals, as are IDIQ, schedule and agreement awards, whose stated value is a ceiling rather than money spent. Figures were last updated on November 12, 2026. Cite this page as "CapitolBids Federal Contracting Statistics".
