How big are federal contracts in Research and Development in Nanotechnology nationwide?

708 awards made FY2024–FY2026 under NAICS 541713. Each award counts once, at its value now (base plus exercised options). Contracts, purchase orders, orders under contract vehicles and vehicle ceilings are shown apart: mixing them would put $5K orders next to $500M ceilings.

Definitive contracts are stand-alone contracts; purchase orders are mostly simplified acquisitions (under $350K since October 2025, $250K before). Orders are task and delivery orders and BPA calls placed under a vehicle. A vehicle's ceiling is what it may be worth with every option, often shared by many companies, not what was spent.
