WinAContract · Oct 05, 2026
Federal public administration spending is heavily concentrated in two agencies (NASA and Interior account for 87% of awards) with a median deal size of $72,975, creating a bifurcated market where most small and mid-size contractors compete in sub-$500K opportunities while a handful of specialized firms capture multi-million dollar contracts.

Distinct winners
The public administration contracting landscape is shaped by 21 awards totaling $15.5 million across 19 winners, but the distribution is anything but balanced. Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority captured $7.5 million on a single NASA contract, while the next tier of winners operates at a different scale entirely. Maryland, California, and New Mexico are the geographic centers of activity, with 47 out of 50 open opportunities concentrated in these three states plus Texas and Virginia.
