| Quarter | Awards | Obligated | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 FY2026 | 1,342 | $7.9B | — |
| Q2 FY2026 | 814 | $2.8B | -64% |

| Q4 FY2026 · partial | 270 | $317.6M | -71% |
Federal fiscal quarters (Q1 = Oct–Dec). Awards are counted in the quarter they start; obligations are the award's obligated amount. The Department of Defense publishes contract awards to USAspending with a 90-day delay, so Q4 FY2026 is still missing most DoD awards (DoD is 96% of this market's dollars) — treat that quarter as incomplete, not as a spending decline.
