Search the U.S. Treasury's official USAspending.gov database for federal contracts, grants, loans, direct payments, and IDVs awarded to any company or organization. No API key required — uses the public USAspending REST API.

Use case

B2G (business-to-government) sales intelligence and vendor due diligence: "Has this company received federal money, how much, from which agencies, and for what?"

Billing

Priced per returned award record (apify-default-dataset-item). A query that returns 0 results costs nothing beyond the minimal run overhead.

Caveats

  • Award-type grouping: USAspending requires all codes in one request to be from the same award group (contracts, grants, loans, etc.). This actor queries each group separately and merges results.
  • Recipient name fuzziness: USAspending's recipient_search_text matches broadly. This actor applies a word-overlap filter to reduce false positives but may include subsidiaries or name variants of the queried company.
  • Amount = obligated: The amount field reflects the obligated amount, not the total contract ceiling or base-and-all-options value.
  • Coverage: Reliable data from FY 2008 onward (USAspending's stated earliest reliable coverage).
