USAspending Awards — US Federal Contracts & Grants

Pull US federal contract and grant award data from the official USAspending.gov public API. Filter by awarding agency, NAICS/PSC, award amount, and date windows. Run once for a bulk extract, or schedule for ongoing award research.

No API key required. Endpoints do not currently require authorization.

Pairs with our UK tenders (Contracts Finder & Find a Tender) and EU TED tender Actors for cross-market competitor and award research — who won what, where, and for how much.

Recipient names, addresses, company IDs, parent-company details, DUNS, and other Dun & Bradstreet–sourced business-registry fields are not collected or returned (see FAQ and licence).

What it does

• Reads the official USAspending.gov public API (api.usaspending.gov) — no key, no scraping of HTML.
• Returns structured award records: contracts, grants, and other award types published on USAspending.
• Filters by keywords, awarding agency / sub-agency, NAICS and PSC codes, award amount band, action/start/end date windows, and place of performance (state / country) where the API supports it.
• Every result includes the official award ID and a link back to the award on USAspending.gov.
• Structured JSON/CSV output ready for CRM, BI, bid-management, or market-research tools.
• Designed to sit alongside UK and EU tender Actors so govcon and international bid teams can research awards in one workflow.

Who it's for

Built for govcon bid teams, procurement analysts, and B2B sales teams researching who won past federal contracts and grants.

• Govcon bid teams and capture managers tracking incumbents and award history by agency or NAICS
• Procurement / market analysts building agency spend and category views from public award data
• Sales teams selling into US federal agencies who need agency, award-amount and industry-code context
• Consultants and intelligence workflows that already use UK or EU tender data and want matching US award research
