Maritime Administration's contract dollars, traced to the source.
Maritime Administration · Department of Transportation
The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is the Department of Transportation component that promotes the U.S. merchant marine, maintains sealift readiness, and runs the National Security Multi-Mission Vessel (NSMV) program for the state maritime academies. Its roughly $0.91B in FY2025 contract dollars is overwhelmingly shipbuilding & vessel services: the three largest awards are NSMV III, IV & V delivery orders to TOTE Services (~$300M+ each), followed by Crowley vessel-acquisition/management work & the N.S. Savannah nuclear-ship decommissioning contract. Fleet construction, vessel operation & maintenance, and specialized decommissioning services drive nearly the entire procurement footprint.

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't
This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the Maritime Administration awarding sub-agency. It shows where MARAD'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 from USAspending FY2025 award obligations, not MARAD's total budget authority. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of Transportation monitor.
