USAspending Federal Awards Scraper: Government Contracts & Grants

Find out who wins U.S. government money, and how much. Search USAspending.gov, the official U.S. Treasury database of every federal contract, grant and loan, and export clean rows:

• Award ID, award type and link to the award page
• Recipient (company or organization) name and UEI
• Award amount and total outlays (or loan value and subsidy cost for loans)
• Awarding and funding agency and sub-agency
• Start, end and base obligation dates, and last modified date
• NAICS and PSC codes with descriptions (contracts), and assistance listing / CFDA programs (grants and loans)
• Place of performance: state, ZIP and country
• Award description

Filter by keyword, award type (contracts, IDVs, grants, loans), date range, recipient, agency, sub-agency, NAICS, PSC, state and amount.

Who is it for?

• Government contractors and BD teams: see which competitors win in your NAICS codes, with which agencies, and for how much.

• Grant writers and nonprofits: see who gets funded under each grant program, and how much.
• Sales and lead generation: build lists of companies that just won large federal contracts.
• Journalists, analysts and investors: track federal spending by agency, state or company.

How much does it cost?

Pay-per-event: a small fee per award returned, plus a tiny per-run start fee, with no subscription and no separate platform usage costs. For example, 1,000 awards cost about $2. Searches with no matches are not charged. Set Max awards or Maximum cost per run to cap your spending.

Good to know

• The date range matches awards with activity (new awards or modifications) in that period, the same way the USAspending.gov search does.
• USAspending returns up to 10,000 awards per search and award type. Narrow the dates or filters to get more.
• Direct payments and other assistance to individuals are excluded on purpose.
