USAspending Federal Awards Search

Search US federal contracts, grants, loans, IDVs and direct payments from the official USAspending.gov API and get clean, flat rows you can drop into a spreadsheet, CRM, or AI agent.

No API key, no login, and no scraping: it uses the US Treasury's public USAspending API, and the data is public domain.

What you can do with it

• Government contractors (GovCon BD): see who is winning contracts in your NAICS code, agency, or state, and how big the awards are.
• Competitor research: pull every federal award a company has received by name or UEI.
• Grant research: find grants by keyword, agency, or state.
• Journalists and analysts: track federal spending on a topic ("drone", "AI", "cybersecurity") over any date range.
• AI agents: a single tool call returns structured award data with a link to each award.

Pricing

You pay per award returned, so a small query costs cents. Set Maximum results (or a maximum charge per run) to cap your spend.

Tips

• USAspending lets each request cover only one award family, so this actor queries each award type you select and combines the results.
• NAICS filters apply to contracts and IDVs only.
• Keywords need at least 3 characters.
• Data covers fiscal year 2008 onward. USAspending refreshes it daily from agency submissions, and recent awards can take a few weeks to appear.

Data source

Data comes from the USAspending.gov API run by the US Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service. It is public domain. This actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by the US government.
