Cancelled Federal Contracts by County

Updated 2026-11-10T01:45:02.102107+00:00.

Rule

Flag a county (contractor's registered address) when DOGE-claimed cancelled contract value per resident is 10x the national figure or more and it has 3+ cancelled contracts.

Base rates

Descriptive base rate: 16 of 577 counties with any cancellation (2.8%) meet the rule (claimed cancelled value per resident ≥ 10× the national $304.60 and ≥ 3 cancelled contracts). No outcome base rate: there is no record yet of what a cancellation did to a county (jobs, closures), so a flag says where DOGE-claimed cancellations concentrate, not what followed. Coverage: 9,633 of 9,633 DOGE contract PIIDs looked up so far (largest claimed savings first); 9,298 have a US recipient county. They carry $103.00 B of the $155.44 B claimed contract value (66.3%) and $34.85 B of $60.43 B claimed savings.

caveats

Recipient county is the contractor's registered address (headquarters effect), not where the work or jobs were; the place-of-performance view is shown separately., Values are DOGE's claims (doge_claims), not audited; PN-XDATA-1 found many DOGE rows not verifiable in FPDS. 'fpds_terminated' counts PIIDs whose FPDS record shows a termination., Every doge_claims row is a contract; DOGE's grant cancellations were not ingested, so this watch covers contracts despite its name.
