About government training contracts
Federal spending on training contracts fell 39% from FY2024 ($1B) to FY2026 ($638M). 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 24% of the total. No single company dominates, which leaves room for new and small contractors.
The Department of Defense spends the most on training contracts (50%), followed by the Department of Homeland Security. The states with the most of this work are Virginia, District of Columbia and Arizona.
