West Virginia Federal Spending — Week of 2026-03-22

West Virginia Federal Spending Report: March 22-28, 2026

The Department of Homeland Security awarded a single $132,000 contract to Maritime Insights & Intelligence Limited during the week of March 22-28, representing West Virginia's only federal spending obligation for the period.

The contract, which accounts for the entirety of federal spending in the state this week, went to Maritime Insights & Intelligence Limited, a contractor specializing in maritime domain awareness and intelligence services. The award underscores DHS's continued investment in maritime security infrastructure and intelligence capabilities, particularly relevant to coastal and waterway monitoring operations.

Maritime Insights & Intelligence Limited was the sole contractor to receive federal funds in West Virginia during this reporting period, consolidating all $132,000 in obligations through a single entity. This concentration of spending reflects a narrowly focused procurement initiative rather than a diversified contracting approach.

The Department of Homeland Security was the only federal agency awarding contracts in West Virginia this week. The single contract represents DHS's maritime security and intelligence priorities, which have become increasingly central to the department's operational mission.

The award structure—one contract, one contractor, one agency—demonstrates a highly focused federal spending pattern for the week. Such concentrated procurement activity often indicates targeted initiatives or continuation of specialized service agreements rather than broad-based economic stimulus or general government operations.

With $132,000 obligated through contract mechanisms, federal spending in West Virginia remained modest during this seven-day period. The allocation reflects DHS's specialized maritime intelligence requirements rather than broad infrastructure or community development investments typical of larger federal spending weeks.
