Mcgraw Hill LLC

City-funded organization

Mcgraw Hill LLC is the Department of Education's Checkbook vendor name for McGraw Hill, the K-12 and higher-education textbook and courseware publisher (mheducation.com), which Platinum Equity acquired from Apollo Global Management affiliated funds for $4.5 billion in 2021. It holds 5 currently-active DOE contracts worth $12.9 million, mostly purchased under a "DOE pre-approved listing" or continued through "Renewal (not re-bid)" awards, both of which are non-competitive categories. Counting every contract the city has awarded it since 2022, expired ones included, the all-time total is a separate and larger figure: $15.2 million across 27 contracts, of which $5.2 million has been paid out so far. About 96% of that all-time value ($14,615,285 across 4 contracts) was awarded without a fresh competitive bid.

City contracts

Registered city contracts, largest first by current contract value (not amount spent): running now, then registered to start later, then ended. Totals count every registered contract. Each line shows its Checkbook contract ID. The tag on each row is how it was awarded (“no-bid” = non-competitive).

Federal awards

Federal awards made directly to this organization in fiscal years 2023 through 2026. Each amount is what the federal government has OBLIGATED on that award as recorded on USAspending.gov as of 2026-08-31 — money committed, not money paid out. These are prime awards only: federal money this

Congressional testimony

Congressional committee meetings where congress.gov lists a witness whose stated affiliation is exactly this organization's name, for the 118th and 119th Congresses, as of 2026-09-01. Name variations are not matched, so an appearance filed under a different spelling of this organization is missing
