For the 2021 fiscal year, the U.S. federal government has budgeted 92.17 billion U.S. dollars for federal IT spending. Civilian agencies accounted for 54.36 billion U.S. dollars of federal IT spending, and the Department of Defense was the agency with the single biggest funding at 38.8 billion U.S. dollars.
