FSIS contract spending by year
| Fiscal year | Obligated |
|---|---|
| FY2024 | $45.1 million |
| FY2025 | $31.5 million |
| FY2026 (incomplete, as of Oct 28, 2026) | $52.4 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.
FY2026 is still being reported, and its total is already 1.7 times FY2025's. That isn't an error: contract dollars count in the year they're obligated, and a few very large contracts, or new funding obligated all at once, can lift one year far above the others.
