Hundreds of billions obligated — almost none of it procurement.

The whole Office of Personnel Management (USAspending toptier agency 024) as recorded in the public spending feed: budgetary resources and obligations by fiscal year, and the largest contract awards. OPM's obligations run into the hundreds of billions because they are the trust-fund benefit payments it disburses — annuities from the retirement fund, FEHB health premiums, life-insurance claims — transfers on behalf of employees and annuitants, not things OPM buys. The contracts below are a fraction of a percent of that total.

Data currency

OPM publishes contract-award detail without any DoD-style 90-day OPSEC withholding. Normal USAspending reporting lag still applies, so the contracts table is shown for the latest fully-loaded fiscal year; the in-progress fiscal year is partial and would understate.

Obligations over time

Total agency obligations by fiscal year — overwhelmingly benefit payments. The current fiscal year is partial.

Largest contract awards

Ranked by total obligated amount on the award. For multiyear and IDIQ vehicles this accumulates across option years — a measure of award size, not single-year spend. Note how small these are beside total obligations: OPM's money is mostly benefit payments to annuitants and health carriers, not procurement.
