The Smithsonian Institution shows $2,515,982,286.51 in USAspending.gov obligations through fiscal year 2026. Those dollars sit on 3,727 awards tagged to awarding-agency CGAC 3300. The four-digit code and the museum-and-research mission set this hub apart from three-digit cabinet identifiers. The tables are award-file obligations, not attendance figures or collection inventories.
Key figures
- Smithsonian (CGAC 3300) shows $2,515,982,286.51 in USAspending obligations through FY 2026.
- Award volume is 3,727 records.
- The total is an award-file obligation sum, not donations or attendance.
- Museum-by-museum splits are not in this packet.
$2.52 billion on 3,727 Smithsonian awards
The precise total is $2,515,982,286.51. Divided by 3,727 awards, the implied mean is about $675,000 per award. Facilities, exhibits, research, and operations contracts can occupy those rows; this packet does not split the 3,727 count by museum, so Air and Space versus Natural History shares are not stated here.
Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year. Multi-year construction and research vehicles can remain open, so $2,515,982,286.51 is not a single exhibition season’s cash. USAspending.gov is the source.
That mix is the research takeaway from the two packet facts together. 3,727 awards at a mean near $675,000 blend facilities, exhibits, research, and operations on four-digit CGAC 3300. A later extract can change both the dollar total and the award count as multi-year construction and research vehicles remain open inside FY 2026.
CGAC 3300 in the hub URL
SpendingVault keys the Smithsonian to /agencies/3300/. CGAC 3300 is the awarding-agency identifier in this extract. The $2,515,982,286.51 total and 3,727 award count belong to that code. The award count is not a count of visitors, objects, or research staff. Trust-fund and federal-appropriation distinctions used in Smithsonian budget books are not in this packet.
