Summary of FY 2021 Federal Contracts by State

In fiscal year 2021, Washington, DC ranked fifth in terms of federal contract awards. The DC Metro area—to include Virginia, Washington, DC, and Maryland—was reported as the place of performance for approximately 22% of total federal contract spend.

The number one place of performance for federal contracts in fiscal year 2021 was the state of Virginia with more than $72 billion. This may not come as a shock, as Virginia is no stranger to the top place of performance. Over the past decade, Virginia has jostled with California and Texas for the number one spot. While not detailed in the chart, Fairfax County (Virginia’s most populated county) accounted for 43% of the state’s $72 billion in federal contract awards.
