Louisiana Federal Spending — Week of 2026-03-22

Federal Spending in Louisiana: Week of March 22-28, 2026

The Department of Homeland Security awarded $37,000 across two contracts in Louisiana during the week ending March 28, 2026, with BlueLeaf LLC securing the largest share of federal spending in the state.

Two contractors received the entirety of federal obligations in Louisiana this week. BlueLeaf LLC topped the rankings with a $23,000 contract from the Department of Homeland Security, while Barque Consulting LLC followed with a $14,000 award from the same agency. Both contracts represent direct awards rather than grants or other funding mechanisms, indicating procurement activity concentrated in specialized services or supplies.

All federal spending in Louisiana during this period flowed through a single agency. The Department of Homeland Security's dual awards to different contractors suggest the agency may be distributing work across multiple vendors, potentially for compartmentalized projects or services that require specialized expertise from distinct firms.

BlueLeaf LLC and Barque Consulting LLC each received a single award during the reporting week. Neither contractor secured multiple contracts, indicating this week represented a one-time procurement event rather than an ongoing vendor relationship for either firm. The split between the two contractors—with BlueLeaf receiving approximately 62 percent of total obligations—shows the larger portion of DHS spending went to the more established award.

The concentration of federal activity within a single agency and small number of awards reflects a relatively quiet week for federal procurement in Louisiana. With only $37,000 obligated across two contracts, this represents minimal federal spending compared to typical weekly volumes in larger states, though the activity does signal continued Department of Homeland Security operations and procurement needs within Louisiana's jurisdiction.
