Source: public Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) records via USASpending.gov, pulled Nov 8, 2026. Included: new federal contracts and task/delivery orders (not later modifications) under NAICS 561612, base award date Nov 8, 2025 – Aug 10, 2026, award amount $25,000 or more, place of performance in Iowa. The Defense Department publishes contract data 90 days late, so this covers awards through Aug 10, 2026 for every agency; later awards are added as DoD's data posts. Obligated so far is the money the agency has committed to the award to date, as recorded in FPDS; it is not the full potential value, and multi-year contracts are often funded one year at a time. Small business = the small-business designation recorded on that award in FPDS. Winner HQ is the recipient address on the award. Some winners are sole proprietors registered under their own name; that is how they appear in FPDS. Agencies add funding and options over time, so open the linked USASpending record before relying on any single figure.
Most Iowa small contractors never bid federal work — not because they can't do the job, but because reading an 80-page RFP to find out if it's worth bidding eats an evening they don't have.
