Federal Contract Leads (USASpending)

Returns recently made U.S. federal contract awards (award ID, recipient name and UEI, amount, agency, NAICS/PSC codes, place-of-performance state, dates and a USASpending.gov link) from the public USASpending.gov API, filtered by NAICS code, awarding agency, state, award date and amount. No API key or login is needed.

When to use

• You need companies that recently won federal contracts in an industry (NAICS), agency or state — e.g. for subcontracting, supplier or B2B sales prospecting, or spending analysis.
• You want a scheduled feed of newly reported awards (sinceDate: "auto").

When not to use

• You need open solicitations / bids to respond to — this returns awarded contracts only (see SAM.gov for opportunities).
• You need grants, loans or other non-contract assistance.
• You need contact details (email/phone) — USASpending does not publish them.
• You need complete real-time data — awards appear with a reporting lag of days to weeks.
• You need a consumer report or eligibility decision (see FCRA notice below).

Incremental mode (sinceDate: "auto")

Schedule the actor daily or weekly with sinceDate set to auto. Each run looks back lookbackDays before the previous auto run and skips awards already returned by earlier auto runs, so you mostly get only new awards. In this mode awards are processed oldest-first by award date; if maxItems is hit the window is not advanced, so the remainder is delivered on the next run. The state is kept in a named key-value store federal-contract-leads-state in your own Apify account; delete it to start over. Different filter sets share this state, so use one input per account for incremental runs.

Limitations — please read

• Data comes from public records exactly as federal agencies report them to USASpending.gov. We do not guarantee completeness or accuracy. Some awards are reported late, corrected later, or never appear (e.g. classified or below reporting thresholds).
• Reporting lag: awards often appear days to weeks after they were signed (DoD data is published with an additional delay). Recent date ranges will look thinner than they eventually will be.
• Dates filter on the base obligation date, not the period-of-performance start date, so a record's start date can fall outside your range.
• Amounts are reported award amounts, not money actually paid.
• These are awarded contracts, not open solicitations/bids.
• Contact details are not included; USASpending does not publish them.
• If the API errors or its response structure changes, the run fails instead of returning empty results.
