National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's contract dollars, traced to the source.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration · Department of Commerce

NOAA is the Commerce Department's science and stewardship bureau for the ocean, atmosphere, and coasts — running the National Weather Service, fisheries and coastal management, and the nation's environmental-satellite fleet. Its contract dollars are dominated by weather- and environmental-satellite programs (GOES and JPSS) and their ground systems, alongside research vessels, high-performance supercomputing for forecast models, and environmental data services. FY2025 contract obligations totaled roughly $2.08B.

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't

This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarding sub-agency. It shows where NOAA's procurement dollars go — obligations over time and the largest awards — not total budget authority, which also includes payroll, grants, and transfers. This reflects only the procurement (contract) slice from the USAspending award feed; NOAA is the largest Commerce appropriation and its full budget also carries operations and grants not captured here. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of Commerce monitor.
