"The 20 largest civilian federal agencies collectively spent 63% less money in October 2025 - during the government shutdown - compared to October 2024, according to reported spending data pulled from the Federal Procurement Data System by Deltek in mid-November. Reported spending at some large agencies, including NASA and the departments of State and Energy, declined by 84% or more compared to October 2024."
"Energy, which historically frontloads spending with fiscal years beginning in October, experienced the largest drop in dollars - $6.5 billion - among agencies during the October shutdown. The General Services Administration, which is consolidating procurement across government, spent $393 million this October during the shutdown, just 5% less than the $412 million spent in October 2024. The only agency to spend more this October than last was the Interior Department."
Data pulled from the Federal Procurement Data System by Deltek in mid-November shows the 20 largest civilian federal agencies collectively spent 63% less in October 2025, during the government shutdown, than in October 2024. Several large agencies, including NASA and the State and Energy departments, saw declines of 84% or more. Energy’s October spending dropped by $6.5 billion. GSA spending fell only 5% to $393 million, and Interior increased spending. The spending decline reflects fewer contracts issued during widespread furloughs and lags in invoice processing. Full impacts may emerge over months as backlogs clear and data are updated.
