Federal Spending Report — 2026-10-30

Federal Spending Report: October 30, 2026

The Department of Agriculture obligated $2.3 million across 21 awards on October 30, 2026, directing funds to 12 unique contractors primarily through grants to community development organizations and regional planning agencies.

The single largest award went to SJ3 Investment Group, LP in California, which received $1.1 million as a direct payment—representing nearly half of all obligated funds. The remaining $1.2 million was distributed as grants to 20 recipients, with the next largest going to Organized Community Action Program Inc in Alabama at $288,000. Greater Fox Cities Area Habitat for Humanity Inc in Wisconsin, Southeastern Indiana Regional Planning Commission, and Crawford County Michigan rounded out the top five, each receiving between $106,000 and $111,000.

The concentration of awards among a small pool of recipients is notable: the top five contractors absorbed approximately $1.6 million, or roughly 70 percent of total obligations. SJ3 Investment Group secured the largest single contract, while ten additional awards totaling $127,000 were distributed among redacted entities due to personally identifiable information restrictions.

All spending originated from the Department of Agriculture, which was the sole disbursing agency on this date. The geographic distribution spanned five states, with California claiming the largest share at $1.1 million across two awards. Alabama, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan each received single awards ranging from $106,000 to $288,000.

The breakdown between award types reveals a split strategy: $1.1 million went to a single direct payment, while $1.2 million was allocated through 20 grants. This suggests a mixed approach balancing direct investment with traditional grant-based funding to nonprofit and local government entities focused on community development and regional planning initiatives.
