What moved since Oct 3
DoD contract obligations, award types A through D. Source: USASpending spending_over_time, pulled Oct 20, 2026. The Oct 3 column is what the Q4 post reported that day.
| Month | FY2026 now | FY2026 on Oct 3 | FY2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| July | $25.25B | $2.65B | $43.20B |
| August | $22.1M | $22M | $42.83B |
| September | $158.4M | $74M | $92.36B |
June, which is no longer the story, moved from $43.19B on Oct 3 to $44.30B. The quarter versus last year is now short $152.95B, not the $175.6B we measured on Oct 3. July is the reason. August and September are still empty.
On a 90-day lag, July should be arriving now. August 31 plus 90 days is late November. September still lands in December. The alert you set for "the year-end file" is an August alert and a September alert, not one email in January.
Who the $25.25B went to
| Service | July 2026 |
|---|---|
| Department of the Navy | $10.54B |
| Department of the Army | $4.58B |

The checks inside July
The largest obligation in the month is a new contract. Several of the rows under it are not.
| Date | Obligation | Recipient | What it is | PIID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 13 | $2.21B | TOTE Services | Base definitive contract. Navy shipbuilding. | N0002426C2421 |
| Jul 15 | $1.81B | Raytheon | Modification P00040. SPY-6 hardware and sustainment. | N0002422C5500 |
| Jul 15 | $1.60B | Lockheed Martin | Base delivery order. F-35 initial spares. Not an open bid. | N0001926F2171 |

| Jul 15 | $288.4M | Walsh Federal | Base definitive contract. F-35 sustainment center. | N4008526C0016 |
Five of these eight are definitive contracts with mod 0: TOTE, ATACMS, Northstar, Walsh, and the pattern continues just under the table with Raytheon at $270.1M for the Mk 99 fire-control system, PIID N0002426C5340. The $1.60B F-35 row is a delivery order. The SPY-6, THAAD, and Virginia-class rows are modifications on contracts those companies already hold.
A delivery order or a P00xxx modification is an incumbent getting paid. A mod 0 definitive contract is a new award record. Open the PIID before you put the dollar figure in a pipeline review.
