U.S. Geological Survey's contract dollars, traced to the source.
U.S. Geological Survey · Department of the Interior
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is the science bureau of the Department of the Interior, mapping the nation's geology, water, ecosystems, and natural hazards. Its ~$0.37B in FY2025 contract obligations are dominated not by research services but by facility construction & maintenance: the largest awards fund building USGS facilities on the Big Island of Hawaii, a hydrologic instrumentation facility in Tuscaloosa, and laboratory buildings & renovations at Moffett Field, California, alongside National Center facilities maintenance. Large general contractors (Hensel Phelps) and construction & facilities-services firms capture the top of the spend.

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't
This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the U.S. Geological Survey awarding sub-agency. It shows where USGS'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 data, not USGS's total budget authority. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of the Interior monitor.
