How this service works

Search federal award spending data from USAspending.gov. Find awards by keyword, recipient company, or agency.

Output

Returns a list of federal award records from USAspending.gov matching the search criteria, including award amounts, recipient company names, awarding agencies, award types, and relevant dates.

Example use cases

Competitor federal contract analysis

“Look up all federal awards that went to our main competitors in the cloud services space over the last few years. I want to understand which agencies they're working with and how much they're winning.”

Agency spending verification for budget planning

“Search for everything the Department of Defense has spent on cybersecurity contracts in the past two years. Break it down by recipient company so we can see where the big budget allocations are going.”

Historical vendor relationship due diligence

“Find all federal contracts and grants awarded to this company over the last five years across any agency. I need to understand their track record and revenue from government work before we decide on a partnership.”

When to prefer

Use this endpoint when you need to search historical federal award spending data (contracts and grants already awarded) from USAspending.gov. Prefer this over the SAM.gov endpoint (which covers active opportunities) or the Grants.gov endpoint (which covers open grant solicitations) when your goal is researching past spending, recipient history, or agency expenditure patterns.
