How this service works
Search US federal awards from USAspending.gov (official Treasury data): contracts, IDVs, grants or loans by keyword, recipient name, awarding agency, NAICS and date range. Returns award ID, recipient, UEI, amount, agency, sub-agency, dates, description, place of performance and links. Use when you need to know who wins US federal contracts or grants (competitors, partners, sales leads) or what a given company has been awarded, by keyword, recipient, agency, NAICS or date.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing an array of award records, each with award ID, recipient name, recipient UEI, dollar amount, awarding agency and sub-agency, start and end dates, award description, place of performance (state and country), and a direct link to the USAspending.gov award detail page. Also includes total count returned and API status.
Example use cases
Competitive intelligence on rival contract wins
“Can you pull all federal contracts awarded to Booz Allen Hamilton from the Department of Defense in the last 365 days? I want to see the award amounts, descriptions, and sub-agencies.”
Sales lead prospecting by NAICS code
“Find me recent federal contracts in NAICS code 541512 — computer systems design — from the last 180 days. Show me up to 30 results so I can identify potential teaming partners or competitors.”
Keyword search for emerging federal grant programs
“Search USAspending.gov for federal grants mentioning 'climate resilience' awarded in the last two years — I need the recipient names, amounts, and awarding agencies.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://usaspending-awards-production.up.railway.app/v1/us-awards/search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, official US federal spending data directly sourced from USAspending.gov (Treasury). It is ideal for competitive intelligence on who wins government contracts, prospecting for sales leads among federal contractors, researching grant recipients by keyword or agency, or auditing a specific company's federal award history. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, filterable award data with UEIs, amounts, and agency breakdowns.
