Federal Contract Awards Feed (USAspending.gov)

See who just won federal contracts, for how much, from which agency, and when the work ends. The data comes straight from the official, free USAspending.gov API, with no API key and no scraping.

Who it's for

• GovCon BD teams tracking competitor wins and finding prime contractors to approach for subcontracting
• Subcontractors and suppliers looking for companies that just won work in their NAICS code
• Capture managers building a recompete pipeline of contracts that end in the next 3 to 12 months
• Lenders, factoring firms and analysts monitoring federal revenue at specific companies

Two ways to use it

1. New awards (default). Contracts whose base award was signed in your window.

{
  "withinDays": 14,
  "naicsCodes": ["5415"],
  "setAsideTypes": ["SBA", "8A", "SDVOSBC", "WOSB"],
  "maxItems": 500
}

2. Recompete finder. Contracts with recent activity that end within N days.

{
  "awardScope": "activity",
  "withinDays": 365,
  "naicsCodes": ["541512"],
  "awardingAgencies": ["Department of Veterans Affairs"],
  "minAmount": 1000000,
  "sortBy": "endDate",
  "sortOrder": "asc",
  "endingWithinDays": 120,
  "maxItems": 200
}

In testing, this exact input returned 29 VA IT contracts over $1M ending in the next 120 days, starting with one ending in 36 days.

Inputs

awardScope (new / activity), withinDays or dateFrom/dateTo, naicsCodes (2 to 6 digits, hierarchical), pscCodes, awardingAgencies (top-tier names), setAsideTypes, placeOfPerformanceStates, keywords, recipientNames, minAmount/maxAmount, includeIdvs (adds IDIQs, GWACs and BPAs), endingWithinDays, sortBy, sortOrder, maxItems.

Honest caveats

• DoD and Army Corps of Engineers data is delayed. Contract actions from the Department of Defense and USACE are published in FPDS, and so in USAspending, about 90 days late (USAspending data sources), so a "last 14 days" search shows almost no DoD awards. Civilian agencies usually appear within days.
• awardAmount is USAspending's obligated amount for the award to date, not the ceiling of an IDIQ.
• One query returns at most 10,000 rows. Narrow the window or filters for bigger pulls.
• endingWithinDays filters after fetching. Use it with a narrow NAICS or agency filter and sortBy: endDate, sortOrder: asc.
• USAspending can be slow at times. The Actor retries automatically.
• This Actor isn't affiliated with the U.S. Treasury or USAspending.gov.
