Federal Contracts & Grants by Company (USAspending)

See which US federal contracts, grants and loans a company has won, straight from the official USAspending.gov data. Give it company names or SAM.gov UEIs and get back:

• award rows with amount, agency, dates, NAICS, PSC, description and a link;
• a company summary with total obligated, matched legal entities, top agencies and top NAICS codes.

You can also search with no company at all, by agency, NAICS, PSC, state or keyword.

Built for B2B sales and GovCon teams, analysts and investors doing due diligence, journalists, and AI agents that need to answer "how much federal money does company X get?"

What can it do?

• Company to awards in one call. "Palantir" returns PALANTIR USG INC and PALANTIR TECHNOLOGIES INC. with their largest awards, both included automatically.
• No fuzzy junk. USAspending's own name search is fuzzy: "Booz Allen" also returns unrelated firms. The Actor keeps only recipients whose name contains every word of your query, then pulls their awards by UEI.
• UEI lookups. A 12-character UEI like JCBMLGPE6Z71 gives an exact match.
• A company summary row. It shows obligated in the period, matched recipient names and UEIs, the top 5 awarding agencies and the top 5 NAICS codes.
• Contracts, IDVs, grants and loans. IDVs cover GSA schedules, GWACs, IDIQs and BPAs.
• Filters. Narrow by date range (back to FY2008), awarding agency, NAICS, PSC, place of performance state, keyword and minimum amount.
• Filters-only mode. Leave companies empty to find, for example, the largest Department of Energy cybersecurity contracts performed in Virginia.
• Misses are free. Unknown companies come back as a free not_found row with tips.

What data does it return?

The company_summary row adds obligatedInPeriod, matchedRecipients (name, UEI, amount), topAwardingAgencies, topNaics, periodStart, periodEnd and awardsReturned.

Statuses:

• Charged: found.
• Free: not_found, invalid_input, service_unavailable and skipped_charge_limit.

How much does it cost?

You pay per record returned. An award row or a company summary row each count as one record:

Plan	Per 1,000 records
Free	$2.00
Bronze	$1.70
Silver	$1.40
Gold	$1.10

A company with a summary and its top 20 awards costs about $0.04. Misses are free. There is also a tiny Apify start fee of $0.00005 per run.

{"mcpServers":{"apify":{"url":"https://mcp.apify.com?tools=swillz/federal-awards-by-company"}}}

Or run it locally with npx -y @apify/actors-mcp-server --tools swillz/federal-awards-by-company and APIFY_TOKEN set.

• "Compare federal awards for Booz Allen Hamilton and Leidos by NAICS."

Integrations and API

Run it from the Apify API, the clients, Make, Zapier or n8n. To enrich a lead list, chain it with {"datasetId": "...", "companyField": "companyName"}. The OUTPUT record holds a run summary (byStatus, period, zeroResultsReason, nextSteps).

FAQ

Where does the data come from? The public USAspending.gov API (US Treasury), which publishes FPDS contract data and FABS assistance data. No login or API key is needed.

Why are recent DoD numbers lower than expected? DoD contract data is published with a 90-day delay, and agencies can revise records later.

Does it return data about individuals? No. It never requests assistance types made to individuals (direct payments, insurance and other), and it drops redacted or aggregated "multiple recipients" rows.

Why does obligatedInPeriod differ from the sum of award amounts? The summary counts obligations made inside your date range. amount on an award row is the award's total over its whole life.
