Ranking / All U.S. federal agencies

Federal agencies by obligated

Money the agency has legally committed this fiscal year through contracts, grants and other awards. An obligation is a promise to pay; the cash may leave the Treasury in a later year.

97 federal agencies report this measure and are ranked against each other — never against hospitals, school districts, public schools, which report different things entirely.
