The U.S. remains the UN’s largest supplier, receiving as much in contracts as it pays in UN dues 

WASHINGTON, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The United States remained the largest supplier to United Nations organizations in 2025, with American companies receiving $2.03 billion in procurement contracts, according to newly released data from the UN Global Marketplace.
