Forest Service's contract dollars, traced to the source.

Forest Service · Department of Agriculture

The Forest Service (USFS) is the USDA agency that manages the 193-million-acre National Forest System, fights wildland fire, and runs forest restoration & research. Its ~$3.51B in FY2025 contract dollars are dominated by wildfire response and land stewardship: multiple large aerial fire-retardant supply contracts (Perimeter Solutions), forest stewardship & restoration work on national forests, and IT service-desk/ICAM support round out the top awards.

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 Forest Service awarding sub-agency. It shows where USFS'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, not USFS total budget authority. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of Agriculture monitor.
