Search US federal awards — contracts, grants, loans, direct payments — by keyword, category, date range, and dollar amount. Get clean, structured JSON with the recipient, amount, awarding agency, and a direct link to the award page — no browser, no API key, no rate-limit headaches.

Point it at "artificial intelligence", "cybersecurity", a competitor's name, or an agency's spending, filter by amount and date, and get a ready-to-use feed of who won what.


What it does

This Actor queries the official USAspending.gov API v2 (api.usaspending.gov) — the U.S. government's system of record for federal spending — and flattens the results into a tidy dataset. Coverage spans FY2008 (Oct 2007) to today.

Each result row includes:

FieldDescription
award_idFederal award / contract number (PIID, FAIN, etc.)
recipient_nameThe company or entity that received the award
award_amountTotal obligated/awarded amount in USD
awarding_agencyFederal agency that made the award
awarding_sub_agencySub-agency (when available)
award_typeAward type descriptor
start_date / end_datePeriod of performance
descriptionAward description
agency_slugAgency identifier
award_urlDirect link to the USAspending award page
internal_idUSAspending internal award id
scraped_atUTC timestamp of extraction

Example use cases

  • GovCon sales & lead gen — find every contract mentioning your product area, who won it, for how much, and which agency bought it.
  • Competitive intelligence — track a competitor's federal award wins over time.
  • Market sizing — total federal spend on a topic (AI, cyber, cloud) by agency.
  • Journalism & research — surface awards by keyword with citable links.
  • Grant discovery — filter to grants and a keyword to map funding.
