Tens of billions obligated a year — much of it grants and contributions, not contracts.

The whole Department of State (USAspending toptier agency 019) as recorded in the public spending feed: obligations by fiscal year, and the largest contract awards. State's executed money is largely foreign-assistance grants, assessed contributions to international organizations, and transfers — not procurement — so the contracts below are a slice of total obligations, ranked by award size.

Data currency

State publishes contract-award detail without the Department of War's 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.

Total agency obligations by fiscal year. 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. Most of State's money is grants, contributions, and transfers, so the contract list is a window, not the whole.
