Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency's contract dollars, traced to the source.
Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency · Department of War
The Defense Counterintelligence & Security Agency (DCSA) is the Department of War component that runs federal background investigations, personnel vetting, and industrial security oversight for most of the government. Its contract dollars are overwhelmingly background-investigation fieldwork services — the two largest FY2025 awards, to Peraton ($736M) and CACI ($717M), are task orders for investigative fieldwork alone. The rest of the roughly $1.00B FY2025 contract slice funds case-processing operations, adjudication, and vetting-support services (ASRC Federal, Agile Decision Sciences, iWorks CAF & VROC support).

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't
This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency awarding sub-agency. It shows where DCSA'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 FY2025 contract (procurement) slice from USAspending, not DCSA's total budget authority. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of War monitor.
