US Federal Contract Awards Scraper (USAspending)

Search U.S. federal government awards (contracts, task orders, IDVs, grants, loans) from USAspending.gov and get clean rows with the winning company, its address and UEI, the amount, awarding agency, NAICS and PSC codes, place of performance and a link to the award.

What you can use it for

• Find who wins government work in your niche (e.g. janitorial, cybersecurity, construction) and pitch them as a subcontractor or supplier.
• Competitor tracking: see every award a competitor received.
• Market sizing by agency, NAICS code or state.
• Lead lists of government contractors with addresses.

How it works

The actor calls the official USAspending.gov search API, pages through all results and flattens the nested response into one row per award.

Input example

{
  "keywords": [
    "janitorial"
  ],
  "awardCategories": [
    "contracts"
  ],
  "placeOfPerformanceStates": [
    "TX"
  ],
  "daysBack": 30,
  "minAmount": 50000,
  "maxItems": 500
}

Every option is described in the Input tab. Set Max results to control how much you pay for.
