USAspending New Federal Contract Awards

Export bounded newly awarded U.S. federal contracts for up to three procurement topics. Government contractors can schedule the same searches and compare their own snapshots of new recipients and agencies. Independent tool; not affiliated with the U.S. government.

Input

queries accepts one to three topic phrases, default cybersecurity and medical supplies; lookbackDays is 7–90, default 30; maxItemsPerQuery is 1–50, default 10. The official API new_awards_only filter selects base transactions in the date window. It does not mean the award has no later modification.

Output

One row per distinct USAspending award key, with public award ID, recipient organization, awarding agency, current whole-award amount in USD, award type, performance start date, last modification time, matched topics, source rank, date window, source link and truncation flag. The amount is not spending within the selected period. The Actor takes eligible rows from the first 100 source-ranked results per topic, so it is a bounded sample. DoD/USACE reporting can be delayed 90 days; do not treat recent zero as proof that no award exists.

Pricing

$0.001 per delivered distinct award-delivered row on FREE; no start, search or secondary event. At most 20 default rows ($0.020) or 150 maximum rows ($0.150). Failed, skipped and duplicate rows are not charged.

Limits and provenance

Official anonymous USAspending API POST only; no website fetch, proxy or paid API. Runtime checks API-origin robots before requests. At most three source POSTs plus robots, 120 seconds and 256 MB. A required-query failure aborts before output or charge; all-zero also fails. Award links provide source attribution. Official USAspending About/Licensing permits commercial data reuse subject to its D&B limitation. The new-awards base-date filter excludes the pre-2022 base-award notices identified by GSA; it does not prove all later organization names are free of D&B origin. No USAspending website pages are fetched. Cite USAspending.gov, U.S. Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service; each row includes an award source link.

Privacy

Only factual public award and organization fields are exported. Blank, redacted, contact-like or names without a recognized organization marker are skipped and never charged; all-skipped fails. A trade name could still identify a sole proprietor. UEI/DUNS, addresses, contacts, officers, compensation and raw descriptions are omitted.
