USAspending Expiring Contracts & Recompete Scraper

USAspending Expiring Contracts & Recompete Scraper finds U.S. federal contracts that are about to expire, so you can see a recompete coming months before the RFP is posted. Filter USAspending.gov award data by NAICS, PSC, agency or keyword and an end-date window (for example, 3–18 months out), then export every matching contract with its incumbent, end dates, ceiling, unexercised options and a recompete signal as JSON, CSV or Excel. It is free to use, runs on the official USAspending.gov API, and needs no API key.

What data does this USAspending scraper extract?

For each expiring federal contract:

• the incumbent (name, UEI, parent, small-business flag)
• current end date and potential end date including options
• obligated amount, ceiling (base + all options) and unexercised option value
• competition: extent competed, number of offers, set-aside, solicitation procedure
• parent IDV (to spot task orders under a multiple-award vehicle)
• a recompete signal: likely_recompete (the final period ends in your window) or option_decision (an option could extend it)
• a direct USAspending.gov link

Source: official USAspending.gov API (FPDS data). No API key, no scraping of logged-in pages.

Who uses expiring federal contract data?

• Small and mid-size government contractors building a capture pipeline
• BD consultants and proposal shops prospecting for clients
• Teaming and subcontracting scouts looking for incumbents to approach
• AI agents, via Apify MCP (call-actor)

How to find expiring federal contracts

1. Enter one or more NAICS codes, PSC codes, agencies or keywords.
2. Set the end-date window in months (minMonths and maxMonths) and an optional minimum amount.
3. Run the Actor and download the results, or schedule it monthly to watch your market.

FAQ

Is this recompete finder free?

Yes. The Actor is free; you only use your normal Apify platform credit, and Apify plans include monthly free credit.

How do I spot a recompete before the RFP?

Look for contracts marked likely_recompete: their final period of performance ends inside your window. Contracts marked option_decision are worth watching too, because agencies sometimes recompete instead of exercising an option.

Does an end date guarantee a new solicitation?

No. These are FPDS award records. Work can be bridged, extended, moved onto another vehicle, or cancelled. Always check SAM.gov for the actual solicitation.

How do I profile the incumbent?

Pass the incumbent's UEI to Federal Contractor / Incumbent Lookup by UEI.
