Department of the Interior

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has recorded 100 terminations at Department of the Interior, claiming $3.2B in savings against $4.2B in underlying contract and grant value. That total accounts for 2.9% of all DOGE cuts reported to date and makes Department of the Interior one of the specific agencies where DOGE's wind-down of existing federal obligations is concretely visible in the data.

The breakdown between procurement and financial assistance is informative: 100 contract terminations delivered $3.2B (100.0%), while 0 grant terminations delivered $0 (0.0%). A contract-heavy profile points to agencies whose main DOGE exposure is vendor and service-provider relationships, while a grant-heavy profile signals agencies whose cuts flow through universities, nonprofits, research institutions, and state and local government recipients — two categories with sharply different downstream consequences.

Concentration matters: the top vendor/recipient — Family Endeavors, Inc — accounts for $2.9B of the terminations at Department of the Interior, followed by CYDAPTIV SOLUTIONS INC. at $57.1M. A concentrated list tends to mean a handful of large canceled awards drive the headline number, while a long tail signals broad-based program pullback. Readers should treat DOGE's claimed savings as self-reported and unverified until reconciled against FPDS and USASpending.gov award-level data, which this page links to for every termination.

How much trust these figures deserve depends on knowing where they come from. The savings totals on this page are reported by the Department of Government Efficiency at doge.gov and reflect its own accounting of contracts and grants it says were canceled. They are self-reported and have not been independently audited, so the headline savings can differ from the verifiable value of the underlying awards. Each termination here can be traced back to the Federal Procurement Data System and to USASpending.gov, the spending-transparency system the U.S. Treasury has run since the DATA Act of 2014, where the original contract or grant value is recorded. Reconciling the claimed savings against those official records is the only way to separate genuine reductions from awards that were already winding down or were partly obligated. For scale, federal outlays exceeded 6,750 billion dollars in fiscal year 2024, so even a large agency total represents a small slice of overall federal spending.
