How to read these numbers
- Amounts are what agencies obligated on contracts, not what they spent. IT means every contract coded in the IT services family (product and service codes starting with D) or the IT products family (codes starting with 70).
- Cloud counts only contracts coded with one of the nine "as a service" codes: DA10, DB10, DC10, DE10, DF10, DG10, DH10, DJ10, DK10. Agencies often buy cloud under ordinary software codes, so the real shares are higher than shown.
- The Department of Defense releases its contracts 90 days after signing them, so its last three months are nearly empty. Compare it to other agencies on a full fiscal year.
- The General Services Administration buys IT for other agencies, so its totals look large and its cloud share low when counted by the agency that signed the contract. Count by the agency that paid for it to see those contracts under the agency that paid.
- Civilian agencies' contracts appear on USAspending.gov 2 to 3 days after signing. USAspending.gov last updated on October 19, 2026.
