District of Columbia USAspending obligations in FY2026

District of Columbia overlapping FY2026

This page is a join: District of Columbia (DC) and FY2026. $17,774,990,662.72 is the obligation sum on that pair. It is not the government-wide FY2026 total on FY2026 federal spending, not every state's book on All states, and not cash already paid. FY2026 figures can still be incomplete for a current year; later ingests can restate $17,774,990,662.72. Correlation is not causation: a large FY2026 cell does not prove District of Columbia caused a policy outcome, or the reverse.

FY2026 yearlyTrend is that fiscal year's obligation sum for District of Columbia. A different year for the same geography is a separate overlay. District of Columbia federal spending is the state parent without a year filter. FY2026 federal spending is the fiscal-year parent without this state filter. All spending ties lists other pairs. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.

The District as geography, not an agency directory

District of Columbia is the place-of-performance tag. Awards billed to Northwest, Northeast, and Southeast quadrants can share the statewide code. Awards coded to Maryland and Virginia stay outside $17,774,990,662.72 even if mail is handled in Washington. Federal-city, monument, and neighborhood folklore is a reader path, not a dollar field.

District of Columbia federal spending collects every fiscal year tagged to District of Columbia. Only this intersection is supposed to match $17,774,990,662.72. The join does not name contractors, agencies, or programs. A ranking of federal agencies headquartered in the district would be a different table.

FY2026 can still be incomplete for a current year. The District's FY2024 cell in this harvest is a much larger closed-year overlay; do not treat $17,774,990,662.72 as that FY2024 book. FY2025 is a third join. Quadrant folklore is ordinary speech. Unique recipients stay unpublished. Quote District of Columbia federal spending, FY2026 federal spending, All states, and All spending ties as separate pages rather than summing them.

FY2026 as an incomplete yearlyTrend year

Fiscal year 2026 is the yearlyTrend year key. It is not a calendar year and not a count of events in District of Columbia. Awards that carry a different year sit outside this cell even if the geography is still DC. FY2026 obligations of $17,774,990,662.72 are about 6.7% of District of Columbia's $264,325,742,700.42 all-year obligation total in this extract. Do not treat the all-year $264,325,742,700.42 as if it were the FY2026 headline.

FY2026 federal spending shows how District of Columbia sits beside other geographies in the same fiscal year. This packet has no outlay total, no recipient roster, and no CFDA split. All states is the directory of states.

All-year District awards are not a FY2026 census

The extract lists 100,346 awards on the District of Columbia table. That is a state-level award-record count, not a FY2026-only census published on this packet. Dividing $17,774,990,662.72 by 100,346 would mix a year cell with an all-year row count, so this page does not treat that quotient as a typical FY2026 invoice. Unique vendors are unpublished.

Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason 100,346 is not a contractor census. If a later ingest restates the all-year count, trust the live District of Columbia federal spending table. This page quotes the packet facts only.

What the DC–FY2026 pair does not prove

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $17,774,990,662.72 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared in FY2026 over-reads the field. The join cannot say that FY2026 specialized in District of Columbia's economy because of federal demand. Keep $17,774,990,662.72 labeled as District of Columbia obligations in FY2026. It is not a ranking of federal agencies headquartered in the District.

FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. Do not rank District of Columbia as a winner or loser against unlabeled neighbor cells. Cite District of Columbia together with FY2026 whenever you reuse $17,774,990,662.72.

Parents of the District × FY2026 overlay

Open District of Columbia federal spending for the state rollup, FY2026 federal spending for the fiscal-year rollup, All states for other states, and All spending ties for other pairs. None of those links convert this cell into a contractor roster, a museum census, or a neighborhood map, into outlays this packet omits, or into a contractor list. Cite both sides: District of Columbia and FY2026, $17,774,990,662.72, USAspending.gov, obligations only.

This page exists because two tables meet: a place-of-performance state and a fiscal year. It does not exist to argue that District of Columbia won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. FY2026 can still be incomplete for a current year. The District's FY2024 cell in this harvest is a much larger closed-year overlay; do not treat $17,774,990,662.72 as that FY2024 book. FY2025 is a third join. Quadrant folklore is ordinary speech. Unique recipients stay unpublished.
