Every federal contract award becomes public record on USAspending.gov within days of signing — who won it, for how much, from which agency, doing what. Most of it is buried in a search UI built for policy analysts, not for a small business owner trying to figure out who to team with or which agencies actually spend money in their category. This turns it into a ranked, exportable lead list.

What it is (and isn't)

This finds contracts that have already been awarded — it's market and competitive intelligence, not a bid-opportunity feed. Use it to answer: who's winning work like mine, which agencies spend in this category, and who might take me on as a subcontractor. If you want open solicitations to bid on directly, that's SAM.gov's opportunities database, a separate system with its own free API key.

What it does

  1. Searches USAspending.gov's public award data for each of your keywords, restricted to actual contracts (not grants or loans).
  2. Optionally narrows to specific NAICS codes and a date range.
  3. Sorts by award size, largest first, so the contracts worth knowing about surface first.
  4. Ranks the most frequent winning recipients per keyword — your competitors, or your future teaming partners.
  5. Drops anything under your minimum award size before billing.

Pricing

Pay per event. You're billed per award returned and once per keyword digested, not for the underlying query. Data source: USAspending.gov, no API key required.
