Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's contract dollars, traced to the source.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention · Department of Health and Human Services

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the HHS component that leads the nation's disease surveillance, outbreak response, and public health prevention programs. Its ~$1.58B in FY2025 contract dollars are dominated by vaccine distribution and logistics — a single McKesson award tops $1.1B — alongside public health data platforms (the DCIPHER ecosystem), national media & education campaigns (tobacco prevention), and community health-access services such as ICATT testing. In short, CDC procurement buys distribution, data infrastructure, and health-communication services rather than facilities or hardware.

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't

This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention awarding sub-agency. It shows where CDC's procurement dollars go — obligations over time and the largest awards — not total budget authority, which also includes payroll, grants, and transfers. Figures reflect the contract (procurement) slice from USAspending FY2025 award data, not CDC's total budget authority or grant/cooperative-agreement spending. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of Health and Human Services monitor.
