Federal Contract Winner Lead Scorer: New GovCon Winners

Who just won a US federal contract, and which of them are worth calling first? This actor reads the official USAspending.gov API, finds every company that signed a new federal contract in your window, and returns one row per company, scored 0 to 100 as a sales lead.

Companies that just won a contract are hiring, buying software, subcontracting, insuring, financing and hitting compliance deadlines. Staffing firms, IT resellers, CMMC and compliance consultants, insurers, banks and accountants use contract winners as their warmest list. Raw award dumps give you 500 rows of the same prime contractor. This gives you the companies, ranked.

What each lead tells you

• Lead score 0 to 100 with the reasons in plain words: newest award date (up to 25), value of the new awards (25), federal revenue growth last fiscal year (20), how new the company is to federal work (20), small business (10).
• First federal win and new entrant flags (0 or up to 3 earlier contract awards since 2008).
• Federal revenue in the last two full fiscal years and the growth %.
• Business types: small business, veteran owned, service-disabled veteran owned, woman owned, SBA 8(a), HUBZone, minority owned.
• New awards in your window: count, total value, biggest award with agency, sub-agency and description, and up to 10 awards with links.
• Address, city, state, ZIP, congressional district, parent company, UEI, SAM.gov and USAspending profile links.

How to use it

1. Add the NAICS codes (or PSC codes, keywords or agencies) of the contracts your buyers win, e.g. 541511 and 541512 for IT services, 236220 for commercial building.
2. Pick a window (new awards signed in the last N days, default 30) and optionally the winner's state, award size or set-aside.
3. Paste your CRM export or Google Sheet link in "Skip list" so companies you already work with are never returned or charged.
4. Run it once, or schedule it weekly with monitor mode on: you get only companies with an award you have not seen before.

Every filter runs on USAspending's side, so a run over thousands of awards takes a few minutes.

Pricing

$0.015 per scored company returned (pay per event, cheaper on higher Apify plans). Scanning awards is free; skipped, excluded and already-seen companies are never charged. History look-ups (growth, first win, business types) are included. Set a charge limit on the run to cap spend.

Example: a weekly monitor for 4 NAICS codes in 5 states returning about 60 companies a week costs about $3.60 a month.

Good to know

• Data is public domain US government data from USAspending.gov (US Treasury), which takes contract awards from FPDS. Civilian awards show up within days; Department of Defense awards are published about 90 days late, so a short window shows few DoD awards. Use 120 days or more for DoD.
• USAspending holds no contact person or email. Use the UEI or company name with a contact finder for that.
• One row per company: awards are grouped by UEI. Joint ventures appear under their own name and UEI.
• "Federal revenue" is the total obligated to that company in the fiscal year (October to September), from USAspending's recipient profile.

For AI agents

Input fields are plain: naicsCodes, keywords, agencies, recipientStates, awardedWithinDays, maxLeads, minLeadScore, monitorMode. Output is one JSON object per company with leadScore and leadReasons. Pay per event, so it works through the Apify MCP server and x402 with no subscription.
