How this service works
US federal award search over official spending records: contract awards matching a recipient name, with agency attribution and award timelines. Use it to vet vendors, size a competitor's government business, or connect policy events to the companies winning the money. Supports agency and date-range filters.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the original query parameters, an array of matching award records (each with award ID, recipient name, award amount in USD, description, awarding agency and sub-agency, start and end dates, and a direct USAspending.gov URL), a count of returned records, and a data attribution string crediting USAspending.gov.
Example use cases
Vendor due diligence before procurement
“Before we engage Leidos as a subcontractor, can you look up their federal contract awards from the past two years and show me which agencies have been paying them and how much?”
Competitor government revenue sizing
“I want to understand how big Booz Allen Hamilton's government business is — can you search for their federal contract awards since 2021 and show me the top 20 results with amounts and agencies?”
Policy event to contract winner mapping
“After the recent AI executive order, which companies got new contracts from the Department of Homeland Security? Search for federal awards from DHS in 2024 for any AI-related recipients, up to 15 results.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.forgemesh.io/federal-award-searchWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured, queryable federal contract award data tied to a specific recipient company, especially when you also want to filter by agency or date range. It is preferable to manually browsing USAspending.gov, as it returns machine-readable JSON with award IDs and direct links. Use it for vendor vetting, competitive intelligence on government revenue, or connecting policy events to contract winners. Not suitable for grant awards, state/local spending, or non-US procurement data.
Side effects
- Recipient name shorter than 3 characters returns a validation error
- No matching awards found returns an empty awards array
- Invalid ISO date format for since/until causes a parsing error
- Limit exceeding 50 returns a validation error
- Misspelled agency name may return zero results without an explicit error
- Network timeout if USAspending.gov upstream is slow
