Abstract

"Federal contracting is an important generator of economic activity -- not only in places like Washington, DC -- but also throughout the country in states such as Connecticut, New Mexico and Missouri. Private firms of all sizes provide the products, equipment and services that the federal government needs to function. These federal contracts support many jobs, and create business and growth opportunities for additional firms through sub-contracting opportunities. This brief draws upon ten years of contracting data from the USAspending.gov database to describe the nature and extent of federal contracting activities performed in Missouri to answer several basic questions, including: How many contracting dollars does Missouri receive, relative to other states; What federal agencies spend the most money in Missouri; Which Missouri-based companies receive the most federal contracting dollars; In what activities are these companies involved; How do federal contracting patterns vary throughout the state; To what extent does federal contracting benefit small, veteran, minority- or women-owned businesses, and; What level of sub-contracting activity occurs in Missouri."--Executive summary
