Federal obligations in the District of Columbia

D.C.’s $264.98B obligation book

The $264.98B figure belongs to the District of Columbia from USAspending.gov awards for FY2024–2026. It is an obligation sum: commitments on awards, not cash leaving the Treasury. It is not the District’s local budget, and it is not Washington state’s WA extract. SpendingVault keeps the D.C. hub on this postal code.

Reuse $264.98B with the two-decimal form and the District label. A headline that says only Washington can be read as WA. The companion statistic is 100,593 awards in the same FY2024–2026 extract.

The District spending hub shows $264.98B beside 100,593 awards. This summary does not invent a typical award size from those two totals. Distribution, if needed, lives in the hub tables.
