Federal Contract Awards Search – USAspending Winners & Grants

See who won US federal contracts and grants: recipient, UEI, award amount, awarding agency, NAICS and PSC codes, place of performance and dates, straight from the official USAspending.gov API (US Department of the Treasury). No API key, no login, no scraping.

Use it for competitor tracking (what did my competitors win this month?), market research (who wins janitorial contracts in Virginia, and for how much?), sales leads (companies that just won a big contract need subcontractors, staff, equipment and insurance) and grant research.

$1.50 per 1,000 awards. You pay only for awards saved.

What you can search

• Award categories: contracts, IDVs (GWACs, BPAs, IDIQs), grants, loans, direct payments, other assistance.
• New awards only (default) or any award with activity (modifications, new money) in your date range.
• Keywords, recipient names (competitors), NAICS and PSC codes, set-aside codes, assistance listing (CFDA) numbers.
• Awarding agency, place of performance state, recipient state, min/max amount.
• Sort by amount, award date or last modified date.

Grant rows have assistanceListings (CFDA number and program title) instead of NAICS/PSC. A run summary is saved in the OUTPUT record.

Monitoring

Turn on Only awards not seen before, set lastDays to 7–14 and schedule the Actor weekly: each run returns only awards you have not received yet (tracked per State key).

Notes

• Civilian contract awards usually appear within days (agencies report them to FPDS). Department of Defense contract data is published with a 90-day delay by policy, so recent DoD awards show up later. Assistance (grant) data is reported monthly or bi-weekly and can lag several weeks.
• awardAmount is the award's total obligated amount; totalOutlays is money actually paid out (often empty for new awards).
• Searches can start no earlier than 2007-10-01 (an API limit).
• Looking for open bids instead of awards? Use SAM.gov Contract Opportunities.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.0015 per award saved ($1.50 per 1,000), plus a tiny start fee. Error rows are free. Set Max awards or a maximum cost per run; the run stops cleanly at that limit.
