Drug Enforcement Administration's contract dollars, traced to the source.
Drug Enforcement Administration · Department of Justice
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is the Justice Department component that enforces U.S. controlled-substances laws, dismantles drug-trafficking organizations, and regulates the legal pharmaceutical supply chain through its Diversion Control program. Its ~$0.61B in FY2025 contract dollars are dominated by services rather than hardware: aviation support is the single largest line, with Vertex Aerospace holding the marquee "total aviation support service" contracts (a $223M award plus a Fort Worth follow-on). The rest of the top of the book is professional, technical & investigative labor — intelligence-division support staffing (Eagle Harbor PTASS), financial-investigator services for Diversion Control (Ruchman & Associates), and IT & customer support services (Arctic Slope).

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't
This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the Drug Enforcement Administration awarding sub-agency. It shows where DEA'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) award slice from USAspending, not DEA's total budget authority or appropriations. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of Justice monitor.
