How this market is scoped
Headline view — Market
OMB Category: Facilities & Construction
OMB Category Management definition — PSC-based. The authoritative federal taxonomy for this market.
Obligated: $183.5B · 157,631 contracts
Companion view — Firm classification
NAICS 23 — Construction sector firms
NAICS describes a seller's industry classification — not what was bought. Use this view for firm-set analysis, not market sizing.
Obligated: $79.5B · 46,990 contracts
NAICS 23 captures awards to Construction-sector firms and materially understates federal construction activity because much spend goes to firms under other NAICS.
Scope note: The OMB Category view is authoritative for market sizing; NAICS 23 is a firm-set lens.

Frequently Asked Questions — Construction & Infrastructure
How much federal construction and facilities spending is there?
Under OMB Category Management's Facilities & Construction definition, federal obligations totaled $183.42B across 157,522 contracts in the trailing 12 months (2025-08-16 → 2026-08-04). DoD leads at $67.8B, followed by DOE at $43.4B (national-lab facility contracts) and DHS at $41.9B (border infrastructure). Source: PrimeRFP SCOUT · obligations only · ≥$100K · calendar-year basis.
Why is the Facilities & Construction number larger than NAICS 23?
The two views measure different things. The OMB Category Management lens is PSC-based — it captures what the government bought (construction, facility ops, related supplies) regardless of the seller's firm classification. The NAICS 23 lens captures awards to firms classified in the Construction sector. Because federal construction buys span firms classified under many NAICS (e.g., national-lab M&O primes, engineering firms), the Category view is larger and is the authoritative market sizing. The NAICS 23 companion view ($79.50B / 46,990 awards) is useful for firm-set analysis but should not be read as the market size.
Who are the largest federal construction contractors?
Top obligated awardees in the Facilities & Construction category are Fisher Sand & Gravel ($13.9B), Barnard Construction ($5.9B), Triad National Security ($5.6B), Sandia LLC ($5.5B), and Savannah River Nuclear Solutions ($3.4B). The top of the list reflects DHS/CBP border construction and DOE national-lab facility M&O contracts.
