Updated figures (Oct 1, 2025 – Jun 30, 2026 — 9 months):
Total obligations: $467.4B (up from $366.2B in the June report — +$101.2B in one month)
Contract actions: 3,464,201 (up from 2.91M)
SAM.gov postings: 104,340 (~3% of all actions — consistent)
No-competition / single-offer combined: still 77.7% of all actions, $264.4B (56.6% of dollars)
Relevant Briefing:
Top agency shifts in the July data vs. June:
Navy jumped to #1 at $69.3B (was $48.7B) — big DoD reporting catchup
Air Force moved to #2 at $56.1B (was $41.6B)
VA held at #3 — $48.6B
Army #4 — $47.4B
DOE #5 — $44.6B
Spending by NAICS
Construction (236220) now leads at $37.9B, followed by Aircraft Manufacturing (561210) at $31.0B and Facilities Support (336411) at $29.5B — defense buildout and infrastructure dominating the top slots.
The Q4 story is unchanged: with a 43-day shutdown compressing the front of the year, July–September is where the heaviest obligating still has to happen.

How to Use SAMradar Intelligence to Get In Front of Buyers — Now
This report is a map. SAMradar is how you act on it before the clock runs out. The play is straightforward:
Find the money in your lane. Use the NAICS, PSC, and Agency tabs to pinpoint exactly which buyers are spending in your codes and which competitors are winning that work. Cross-reference the Vendors (Detailed) tab to see the precise NAICS/PSC combinations your competitors are winning and the offices feeding them.
Monitor the buyers and the incumbents — not just SAM.gov. Since only ~3% of activity ever posts publicly, watching solicitations means missing the market. SAMradar’s intelligence surfaces buyer and prime activity — including IDIQ, GWAC, and BPA orders and modifications that never appear on SAM.gov — so you can see where money is actually moving and who is moving it. Add your top competitors and target buyers to your SAMradar monitor and watch their activity in real time.
Identify the relationship gaps. For every active buyer in your codes, ask the matrix question: do I know this contracting officer, this program manager, this end user? Mark the unknowns. Those red cells are your Q4 target list.
Inject yourself into the conversation before the next obligation. When you see a buyer obligating in your lane, reach out now — not to chase a posted RFP, but to introduce your capability, your past performance, and your readiness to take an award fast. With expiring funds and a hard September 30 deadline, a buyer’s biggest fear is being unable to obligate in time. Be the vendor who removes that fear.
Convert intelligence into relationships, and relationships into awards. Move every contact up the –5 to +5 scale. The vendors who win the year-end surge are not the ones with the best proposals. They are the ones the buyer already knew, already trusted, and could award to without risk. SAMradar gets you the names and the timing. The relationship is what closes the deal.
The window between now and September 30 is the most concentrated, highest-velocity buying period in government. Use the data to find the buyers. Use SAMradar to reach them. And start today — because the money that isn’t obligated by September 30 doesn’t roll over. It’s gone.
About This Government Spending Report
Report Sources. FPDS (the Federal Procurement Data System) is the system of record for federal contract award data. Important: as of February 2026, FPDS data is no longer available on a standalone FPDS.gov site — all FPDS award data is now accessible only on SAM.gov, under the Awards Search. SAM.gov is therefore now the single public destination both for posted opportunities and for running reports on the underlying FPDS award data. SAMradar adds proprietary intelligence algorithms that provide deeper insight into buyer and prime activity that is not available through the SAM.gov Awards Search.
Why Date Signed vs. Date Modified? Both matter. Contract modifications reveal spending and prime activity that is otherwise hidden — IDIQ, GWAC, and BPA sales that never post on SAM.gov. New contract activity by date signed matters because most of it never posts on SAM.gov either, which means most contractors never learn about federal sales happening in their NAICS/PSC niche. SAMradar is built to surface both.
Report Anatomy and Use Cases. Each tab can be sorted by number of contracts (activity) and by dollars (spending), giving you both a competitive-activity view and a total-spending view. The SAMradar workflow:
Find competitors in your space and add them to your SAMradar monitoring.
See competitor and buyer activity in real time.
Choose your response strategy (see SAMradar templates).
Inject your company into the conversation — especially for future procurements.
Reconciling Inaccuracies. Federal contract records contain hundreds of data points per action, entered by thousands of contracting officers and specialists. The data is therefore imperfect: corrections, deletions, agencies using fields differently, and DoD’s 90-day FPDS reporting lag all create anomalies in any summarized report. SAMradar’s analysts continually review the data for these anomalies but do not alter them, because doing so would compromise the integrity of the reports. The “Winnable Opportunity Matrix” tab in this edition is provided as a working template for your own pursuit analysis.
