The official USAspending API — every federal contract and grant awarded, with the dollar amounts. Search by keyword, recipient or agency; monitor topics or companies and get new-award alerts as money moves. No key. MCP-compatible, agent-ready.

Why it's a top vertical

Government BD teams, suppliers, analysts, consultants and journalists live in this data: "who won this contract?", "how much did X get from DoD this year?", "when did grant money reach our city?". Existing tools are scraper UX without monitors — this actor is the official API, keyless, typed, with a daily alert mode.

What you get per row

PIID/FAIN award ID, recipient, award amount in USD, awarding agency/sub-agency, funding agency, start/end dates, award description (cleaned), USAspending link to the official award page.

Two modes

search — research awarded money

{ "mode": "search", "term": "cloud services", "awardTypes": "contracts",
"dateFrom": "2025-01-01", "maxResults": 10 }

Combine filters freely: recipient: "LOCKHEED MARTIN", agency: "Department of Defense", types (contracts, grants, loans, direct_payments, other, all).

monitor — money radar

{ "mode": "monitor",
"watchQueries": ["cybersecurity", "recipient:BOOZ ALLEN"] }
  • Run 1 = free baseline — snapshots award IDs (60-day window).
  • Run 2+ emits only new-award rows for fresh awards since.
  • Schedule daily; silence = $0.001.

Recipes

  1. Competitive intelligence — watch recipient:Competitor daily; first to know when they win federal money.
  2. BD hunting — "cloud services" + FY2026 filters → target agencies by amount.
  3. Civic/press: grant flows into a state or city, quotes with official record links.

Data honesty

All rows from usaspending.gov at run time. Amounts are as published (may be estimated for some grants types); internalId + PIID kept for exact dedup.
