Why there is no total on this page. CATERPILLAR INC has 164,874 awards in this record — more than the 5,000 we add up on a single page load. Rather than publish a sum of the portion we can read and let it be mistaken for the whole, we publish no sum at all. The award count, the dates and every award listed on this page are exact: each is a direct query, not an estimate.

Figures read from our copy of the USAspending.gov record on September 11, 2026. Federal spending data is published on a lag and is revised after the fact, so treat these as the record as it stood, not as a live balance.

Where CATERPILLAR INC performs federal contract work

Place of performance is where the work happens, not where the company is headquartered. Ranked by total award dollars.

These rows come from our per-state contractor leaderboards, which store each state's top-ranked contractors only. Each row is exact for its state, but the list is a floor: states where CATERPILLAR INC ranks below the cut are not shown, and the rows must not be added up into a national total. Computed August 21, 2026.

Where these figures come from

  • Source. Every figure on this page is public federal spending data from USAspending.gov, the federal government's official record of its own spending. Public record, free to read, with no data vendor in between. Each award below links to its own record there, so any number here can be checked against the government's own page.
  • Scope. This record covers federal PRIME contract awards (award types A, B, C and D) published by USAspending.gov. It does not include subcontracts, grants, loans, state or local government work, commercial revenue, or any award outside the fiscal years loaded here. It is a slice of one company's federal contracting and not a complete business history — treat the totals as a floor.
  • Identity. Awards are grouped by Unique Entity ID (C9C6HPQLL4A8), not by name, because the same company files under several spellings and unrelated companies share names. The name shown is the spelling that appears most often on these awards, reproduced as stored.
  • Missing values. Where USAspending records no amount, agency, NAICS code or location, we leave it out instead of filling it in. An award with no reported amount is still counted as an award but does not enter any total or average, which is why a row's award count can outrun its dollars.
  • Corrections. Federal award data is revised by the agencies that report it. If something here disagrees with the linked USAspending record, the government's record is authoritative and ours is the copy that needs fixing — the link on each award is there so you never have to take our word for it.

This page reports what the federal contract award record contains. It is not a review, a rating, a recommendation or an endorsement, and nothing here is an assessment of the company or its work. We publish it because federal award history is public record and because knowing who currently holds a contract is the single most useful thing a small business can learn before bidding against them.

CATERPILLAR INC government contracts — common questions

Who is CATERPILLAR INC?
CATERPILLAR INC is a federal contractor registered under Unique Entity ID C9C6HPQLL4A8. In the USAspending.gov records held here, the company appears on 164,874 federal prime contract awards. This page reports what the federal contract award record contains. It is not a review, a rating, a recommendation or an endorsement, and nothing here is an assessment of the company or its work.
How many government contracts does CATERPILLAR INC have?
164,874 federal prime contract awards are on file for CATERPILLAR INC here. That is a count of one dataset, not of everything the company has ever done: this record covers federal PRIME contract awards (award types A, B, C and D) published by USAspending.gov. It does not include subcontracts, grants, loans, state or local government work, commercial revenue, or any award outside the fiscal years loaded here.
Where does CATERPILLAR INC perform its federal contract work?
Place of performance is where the work happens, not where the company is headquartered. The states listed on this page are the ones where CATERPILLAR INC appears in a state-level award leaderboard, and Illinois carries the largest recorded total among them. Those leaderboards store each state's top-ranked contractors only, so this is a floor rather than a complete map of where the company works.
How can I check these figures?
Every award listed on this page links to its own record on USAspending.gov, the federal government's official spending database. Nothing here is computed from a private data source: the figures are counts and sums over public records, and any of them can be checked against the government's own page in one click.
How do I compete for the same kind of work?
Award history tells you which agencies buy this work and roughly what they pay; open solicitations are what you can actually bid. BidGovContracts pulls federal SAM.gov postings and state portals into one feed and summarizes each one in plain English. You will also need an active SAM.gov registration with a UEI of your own before any federal award can be made to you.
