2023 at $2.38B (2,290 awards); 2017 at $2.31B (77 awards) — the two largest years in the record, reflecting the María-era surge and post-disaster infrastructure contracting.
Construction dominates: $6.42B (58.8%) performed by 250 firms — military construction, VA facilities work, and federally funded rebuilding administered as contracts. No other sector exceeds 10%.
Totals are the sum of USASpending award amounts for prime transactions with a Puerto Rico place of performance (2002–2026). Deobligations (negative actions) are netted. Award dates shown are performance-start dates capped at today; base vehicles showing $0 contribute $0 until orders obligate funds. Source: USASpending.gov.
Does this include Puerto Rico government contracts?
No. This page covers federal contracts reported to USASpending. For Commonwealth (state-level) contracts, see contratosenley.org, which reads the OCPR registry. CivicaPR does not duplicate OCPR data.
What is federal spending per capita in Puerto Rico?
Do not divide the multi-year cumulative total by today’s population. The total spans 2002–2026 across population change, multi-year performance periods, and recipients domiciled outside Puerto Rico performing work on the island.
