About government snow removal contracts
Federal spending on snow removal contracts fell 6% from FY2024 ($62.7M) to FY2026 ($59.2M), peaking in FY2025. FY2026 closed recently, and Defense Department contracts are reported up to 90 days late, so its total may still rise.
Spending is spread widely: the top 3 contractors account for 18% of the total. No single company dominates, which leaves room for new and small contractors.
The Department of Defense spends the most on snow removal contracts (57%), followed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The states with the most of this work are Virginia, California and Illinois.
