Food and Drug Administration's contract dollars, traced to the source.

Food and Drug Administration · Department of Health and Human Services

The Food & Drug Administration (FDA), a component of Health & Human Services, regulates the safety of the nation's food, drugs, medical devices, biologics, and tobacco products. Its ~$1.43B in FY2025 contract dollars are dominated by two categories: large public-health education and media campaigns (True North Communications' national education campaign task orders, including tobacco/CTP outreach, top the list at nearly $383M combined) and IT modernization and infrastructure work (Leidos' ORA MARCS software development, Peraton's data-center/infrastructure bridge, and Deloitte's CBER systems modernization). Marketing/communications services and mission-IT development, not lab or medical-services procurement, drive the top of FDA's contract spend.

USAspending contract feed

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't

This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the Food and Drug Administration awarding sub-agency. It shows where FDA'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 reported on USAspending for FY2025 awards, not FDA's total budget authority or appropriations. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of Health and Human Services monitor.
