Government contracts

What it is

Every federal contract above a small threshold is published on USAspending.gov. We match the recipients, and their parent companies, to public companies so you can see which ones are winning government work.

Who files it

The agency that awarded the contract, through the federal procurement system.

How current

New awards and changes appear within days. We collect them daily.

Worth knowing

The amount is what the government has committed to pay so far, and it can be revised. A change to an older contract can bring it back into the list.

All of this comes from public filings.
