North Carolina Federal Spending — Week of 2026-06-21

North Carolina Federal Spending Report: June 21-27, 2026

Federal agencies obligated $148,000 across four awards in North Carolina during the week ending June 27, with the Department of Agriculture distributing the entirety of funds through a mix of direct payments and grants.

Roberts Landing Limited Partnership secured the largest single award at $91,000 as a direct payment from the Department of Agriculture, representing more than 61 percent of the week's total federal spending in the state. Three additional grants totaling $57,000 rounded out the department's activity, with individual awards of $21,000, $19,000, and $17,000 going to recipients whose identities were redacted due to personally identifiable information protections.

The spending was concentrated among just two unique contractors. Roberts Landing Limited Partnership dominated the awards with a single $91,000 payment, while a second contractor received three separate grants totaling $57,000. This narrow distribution suggests focused agricultural funding activity rather than broad-based disbursement across multiple entities.

The Department of Agriculture was the sole federal agency dispensing funds in North Carolina during this seven-day period, consolidating its spending across grant and direct payment mechanisms. The agency's four awards reflect its typical portfolio of agricultural support, though the specific programmatic details behind each award remain limited in the available data.

The spending pattern reveals a significant skew toward direct payments over grants. While three of the four awards were structured as grants, the single direct payment represented nearly two-thirds of total obligations. This structure suggests the department may have been fulfilling a contractual or payment obligation to Roberts Landing Limited Partnership while simultaneously distributing smaller grant awards to other agricultural recipients in the state.

North Carolina's federal spending during this week remained modest in absolute terms, with $148,000 in obligations spread across the agricultural sector. The concentration of activity with one agency and two contractors indicates a narrow funding window, likely tied to a specific program cycle or funding announcement rather than routine baseline federal operations in the state.
