FTC contract spending by year
| Fiscal year | Obligated |
|---|---|
| FY2024 | $105.6 million |
| FY2025 | $93.1 million |
| FY2026 (incomplete, as of Oct 28, 2026) | $100.1 million |
Headline figures use FY2025, the last complete year. FY2026 ended September 30, and its year-end contract reports and corrections are still arriving, so it's marked incomplete until about early January 2027.
