Federal Aviation Administration's contract dollars, traced to the source.
Federal Aviation Administration · Department of Transportation
The Federal Aviation Administration is the Department of Transportation bureau that regulates civil aviation and operates the national airspace system, running air-traffic control and certifying aircraft, pilots, and airports. Its contract dollars are dominated by air-traffic-control modernization (NextGen), facilities and equipment, radar/surveillance and communications systems, and the engineering and technical services that sustain them. FAA drew roughly $6.03B in contract obligations in FY2025.

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't
This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the Federal Aviation Administration awarding sub-agency. It shows where FAA's procurement dollars go — obligations over time and the largest awards — not total budget authority, which also includes payroll, grants, and transfers. This figure is the awarded-contract (procurement) slice only, not total FAA budget authority, which also includes Airport Improvement Program grants and operations appropriations. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of Transportation monitor.
