By fiscal year
Committed dollars grew 36% across FY2018–FY2025. OPO's committed dollars per fiscal year, FY2018–FY2026.
* FY2026 is year-to-date — the fiscal year is still in progress, so its total is still filling in. The striped band and dashed line mark that provisional stretch.
How to read these numbers
- Committed, not paid
Every figure is money this bureau committed — promised by signing a contract or awarding a grant — counted in the year each action happened, not cash disbursed.
- A slice of its parent
These totals are just this bureau's share; the parent department's page rolls up every bureau inside it.
- From FY2018 on
Like every agency page, a bureau's numbers start at fiscal year 2018, the first year of complete assistance reporting.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
Direct payments
