US federal contracts, grants, loans & IDVs — normalized from USAspending.gov (JSON / JSONL)
Every federal award exported from the USAspending.gov public API and normalized into one flat schema across contracts, grants, loans, direct payments and IDVs. Award-type codes are decoded to human labels, agencies and sub-agencies are split out, dates are ISO-normalized, and each row links back to its canonical award page. Built for govcon competitive intel and federal-spend analytics.

}A real labeled slice of each dataset, downloadable right now. No signup to look; email to get the full sample bundle.
Full dataset (or a filtered cut) delivered as a single JSONL/CSV bundle via download link. Price scales with size & filtering.
Initial full dump plus a recurring incremental feed of new/changed records. SEC daily, contracts weekly.
Honest note: bulk delivery is manual-fulfilled — you request, we ship a download link (usually within 48h). That means you always get a cut tailored to your filters, and a real human if something's off.
The free, public USAspending.gov REST API (spending_by_award). It is official US government data; we normalize it into one consistent schema and decode the award-type codes.
Contracts (definitive, delivery/purchase orders), IDVs (GWAC, IDC, FSS, BOA, BPA), grants (block/formula/project), cooperative agreements, direct payments and loans — all in one normalized schema with a category field.
FY2008 to present via the search API. Older records (back to FY2001) are available via the bulk-download path on request.
JSONL or CSV, partitioned by fiscal year and agency. Delta subscribers receive a weekly incremental file as USAspending publishes new obligations.
Yes — tell us the agencies, NAICS/PSC codes, recipients or keywords and we deliver a pre-filtered cut, which is usually cheaper than the full dump.
We'll email the full sample bundle and a delivery link, with a cut tailored to your filters. Delivery is hand-fulfilled within 48h.
