How this service works
Search public USAspending prime federal procurement awards by recipient company or organization name, UEI, or legacy DUNS, returning bounded contract values, agencies, performance dates, descriptions, official award links, and explicit interpretation limits.
Output
Returns a structured list of prime federal procurement awards from USAspending, each including bounded contract dollar values, awarding agency name, period of performance start and end dates, a plain-language description of the work, and a direct link to the official USAspending award page. Also includes explicit interpretation limits clarifying the scope and reliability of the results.
Example use cases
Vendor due diligence before partnership
“Can you pull up the federal contracting history for Leidos Inc from USAspending? I want to know which agencies have awarded them contracts, the bounded dollar values, and what kinds of work they've been doing.”
Nonprofit federal funding research
“Look up federal procurement awards for RAND Corporation on USAspending using their organization name — I need the awarding agencies, contract descriptions, and performance date ranges.”
Competitive intelligence on a rival contractor
“Search USAspending for prime federal contracts awarded to Palantir Technologies — give me the contract values, agencies, and descriptions so I can understand their government business footprint.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://apiacre.com/v1/research/us-contract-searchWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable federal procurement data tied to a specific vendor or organization, and you want official USAspending award details including bounded contract values and agency attribution. Prefer this over manual USAspending.gov browsing when building automated research pipelines, vendor vetting workflows, or competitive intelligence tools. Best when you have a specific company name, UEI, or DUNS to query — not for broad spending category or program-level searches.
Side effects
- No awards found for an unrecognized or misspelled recipient name
- Ambiguous company name matching multiple entities — results may span unintended organizations
- UEI or DUNS not found in USAspending database
- Rate limit or payment failure resulting in 402 or 429 response
- Partial results if the USAspending upstream API is throttled or unavailable
- Interpretation limits flag if queried entity has common name shared by many organizations
