Missouri Federal Spending — Week of 2026-03-22
Federal Spending Report: Missouri (March 22-28, 2026)
Federal agencies obligated $2.1 million across six contract awards in Missouri during the week of March 22-28, 2026, with the Department of Transportation commanding the vast majority of spending and a single technology vendor capturing nearly 90 percent of total funds.
CDW Government LLC dominated the week's activity, securing a $1.9 million contract from the Department of Transportation—an unusually large single award that represents the lion's share of weekly federal obligations in the state. The technology contractor's deal dwarfed all other awards by more than 25-fold, underscoring how concentrated federal spending can be in any given week. Four additional awards ranged between $24,000 and $73,000, suggesting a typical mix of mid-sized government contracts.
Beyond CDW's dominant performance, CD & T Logistics Inc. emerged as the week's second-most active contractor, winning three separate awards totaling $110,000—all from the Department of Transportation. The company secured contracts worth $73,000, $24,000, and an undisclosed third amount. Two other vendors, TSRC Inc. and Bluewater Management Group LLC, each won single contracts valued at $61,000 from the National Archives and Records Administration and Department of Homeland Security, respectively.
The Department of Transportation overwhelmingly led federal spending activity, accounting for $2.0 million across four awards—nearly 95 percent of all obligations. The National Archives and Records Administration and Department of Homeland Security split the remaining $122,000 equally, with one award each. The concentration of activity within a single agency suggests targeted infrastructure, procurement, or logistics initiatives underway in Missouri during this period.
All six awards issued during the week were structured as contracts rather than grants, indicating a focus on procuring goods and services rather than supporting research, education, or community programs. The relatively small number of unique contractors—just four companies—reflects typical weekly spending patterns in which a handful of established federal vendors capture the bulk of available business.
