Reading this table
A high figure in your state means the buying is happening near you and the incumbents are local. A low figure does not mean the door is closed — place of performance often differs from the recipient's address, and small awards are frequently set aside for small businesses.
Virginia led at $3.90B. The median value among the 100 largest awards in this trade was $117.26M — award values cover the full period of performance, so they are a different measure from a single year of obligations.

Methodology
Methodology. Figures on this page are federal prime contract obligations for NAICS 541511 (custom computer programming) in fiscal year 2025 (October 1 2024 – September 30 2025), pulled from the USAspending API and retrieved August 14 2026.

Excluded: subcontracts, grants, state and local government purchasing, and classified awards not published by the API. Amounts are rounded for display; the underlying values are exact to the cent and shown in full on hover of any amount.
Scope, stated plainly: every figure here covers the 35 NAICS codes Contracts Near Me tracks, is a federal prime contract obligation for fiscal year 2025, and excludes subcontracts and state and local spending.
