Federal Contract Awards (USAspending): Who Won What

See which companies are winning U.S. federal contracts, for how much, from which agency, and against how many competitors. Data comes from USAspending.gov, the official source for federal spending.

• Search by market or by competitor. Filter by keyword, NAICS, awarding agency, winning company, set-aside, state and dollar amount.
• Competition details. Adds the number of offers received, extent competed, set-aside type, pricing type and the solicitation ID.
• Real contract size. Adds the potential total value including all options, not just the obligated amount, plus the parent IDV or GWAC.
• Winner profile. Adds the company's business categories (small, veteran-owned, 8(a), women-owned...), parent company and address.
• Alert mode. Schedule it daily to get only new awards in your market or by a competitor.
• No API key. Works out of the box.

Who uses it

• Capture and BD teams sizing a market, finding incumbents before a recompete, and spotting teaming partners.
• Small businesses checking which agencies buy their services and how many bidders they face.
• Sales teams selling to government contractors: new winners usually need to hire, buy and subcontract.
• Analysts and AI agents that need structured federal award data.

Input

Good to know

• Reporting delay. Agencies report awards to USAspending with a delay; the Department of Defense can take up to 90 days. That is why the default window is 90 days. Alert mode keeps track of what you have already received, so a wide window doesn't cause duplicates.
• Speed. USAspending can be slow under load. The Actor retries automatically, and the newAwardsOnly filter is usually the fastest way to search.
• Pairs well with SAM.gov Contract Opportunities: find open bids there, then see who won similar ones here.
