Defense Logistics Agency's contract dollars, traced to the source.
Defense Logistics Agency · Department of War
The Defense Logistics Agency is the Defense Department's combat-support agency and its primary buyer of commodities, supplying the fuel, subsistence and food, medical materiel, clothing and textiles, construction material, and repair parts that keep the joint force running. It operates on a revolving working-capital fund and is one of the largest contracting agencies in the entire federal government, with roughly $55.9B in FY2025 contract obligations dominated by energy/fuel, subsistence, and weapon-system spare parts.

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't
This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the Defense Logistics Agency awarding sub-agency. It shows where DLA's procurement dollars go — obligations over time and the largest awards — not total budget authority, which also includes payroll, grants, and transfers. Because DLA is funded through a working-capital (revolving) fund rather than direct annual appropriations, its contract obligations are close to its true operating scale, so this contract feed tracks its size more faithfully than it would for an appropriated bureau. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of War monitor.

DLA's working-capital fund has never earned a clean audit opinion — a structural, mandate-driven gap with a statutory FY2028 deadline. The full cited record — disclaimer history, the one bounded fund that broke through, and the deadline — is on the audit layer →
Deep dive · Budget & working capital
DLA runs on a revolving working-capital fund, not an appropriation. The budget layer breaks down each activity group's operating result, the inventory the fund carries, and what the agency actually buys.
