USAspending Federal Contracts & Grants Scraper

Find out who wins federal contracts, grants and loans in your market. Search USAspending.gov, the official U.S. government spending database, by keyword, agency, company, NAICS / PSC code, state and award size, and get clean rows with the recipient company, UEI, address, award amount, agency, dates, place of performance and industry codes. $1.50 per 1,000 awards, no API key, no login, no proxy.

It reads the official USAspending API (U.S. Department of the Treasury), so it is fast and returns the same records you see on usaspending.gov.

What you can do with it

• GovCon lead generation: list every company that won cybersecurity, construction or janitorial contracts in your state, with addresses and award sizes, then sell to them or team with them.
• Competitor and partner intelligence: see which agencies a competitor sells to, how much, and under which NAICS codes.
• Grant prospecting: find which universities, nonprofits and cities received grants from NIH, NSF, DOE or HUD and for which programs.
• Market sizing: total up federal spending on a product or service category (PSC) or industry (NAICS) by agency and state.
• Sales triggers: run it weekly with "New awards only" to catch fresh wins (a new contract usually means new hiring and purchasing).

Limits and notes

• Data covers awards from fiscal year 2008 (2007-10-01) onward; that is the API's search limit.
• "Activity in the date range" includes older awards that were modified in that window. Turn on New awards only to see only fresh awards.
• Amounts are what agencies reported to USAspending; recent awards can lag by a few days to weeks, and agencies sometimes correct records later.
• Each award type is searched separately; maxItems is shared evenly between the types you pick (unused share rolls over to the next type).
• Recipient addresses are business addresses from federal records. No personal emails or phone numbers are included.
