USAspending prime contracts only

US federal contract awards& public suppliers

Download prime contract awards, suppliers and prime-recipient relationships from USAspending. The daily edition is a last-modified snapshot—not a list of contracts awarded yesterday—and every award links back to its official source.

Read before analysis

A deliberately bounded first release.

Date boundary: v1 includes only awards whose base award date is on or after 2022-04-04. Pre-cutoff supplier history is excluded pending provenance and legal review.

Publication window: each edition covers edition_date − 2 days through edition_date for USAspending prime award summaries newly reported or updated, deduplicated by award key. The scheduler targets one day behind in America/New_York. This is not “contracts awarded yesterday.”

Included grain: awards, suppliers and prime-recipient relationships. Not included: transactions, IDVs, subawards, opportunities or contacts.

Supplier boundary: source-published recipient name plus UEI, then CAGE when UEI is absent, then an award-scoped unresolved hash so same-name entities are never merged. DUNS and all D&B-derived or legacy business location, contact and officer fields are excluded.

Manifest-gated products

Choose the grain before the format.

A download is enabled only when the latest release manifest names it. Use awards for award-level measures, suppliers for the public recipient dimension, and award–supplier rows for joins.

Awards

How to read this preview

Open schema & data dictionary ↓
  • 1 source system represented in these bounded rows.
  • Cumulative obligations and outlays are award-level balances as of this snapshot, not daily transaction amounts.
  • Rows can reappear in later editions when USAspending reports or updates the same award.
  • Verify decision-critical facts on the official source page.

Measure semantics

Balances, not yesterday’s flow.

Cumulative obligations

The net amount the government has legally committed to the award as reported in the current snapshot. It is not a transaction amount for the edition date.

Cumulative outlays

The cumulative payments reported against the award as of the snapshot. Outlay reporting can lag and is not the same as award value.

Across editions

The same award can appear again after an update. Do not sum cumulative balances across daily editions.

Across relationships

Award-level measures repeat when joined to a relationship grain. Aggregate awards once by award key before supplier analysis.

Official source & freshness

Trace the normalized row to government data.

The collector uses USAspending prime award summaries. WebTruffle is not the authoritative system of record and does not imply endorsement by USAspending, GSA or any federal agency.

USAspending

United States federal prime contract award summaries

Official source

Recent defense data are intentionally delayed at source.

USAspending documents a 90-day publication delay for Department of Defense and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers procurement data. Recent DoD or USACE awards can therefore be absent even when the WebTruffle edition ran successfully.

Free data or managed delivery

Start public. Scope only the missing work.

The free edition is deliberately limited to USAspending prime award summaries in the published rolling window and source-published supplier identity using UEI, CAGE or an award-scoped fallback. Managed work can add agreed history, enrichment, monitoring, delivery or other lawful sources without changing what the public edition claims.

Methodology

A reproducible daily publication.

  1. 01

    Set the edition

    Target one day behind America/New_York, then set the inclusive three-day last-modified window from edition_date − 2 days through edition_date.

  2. 02

    Collect prime summaries

    Read USAspending prime contract award summaries newly reported or updated in the window; do not collect transactions, IDVs or subawards.

  3. 03

    Enforce v1 scope

    Keep awards with base award date on or after 2022-04-04; retain source-published names and resolve identity by UEI, CAGE fallback or an award-scoped unresolved hash.

  4. 04

    Deduplicate & publish

    Deduplicate by award key, build award, supplier and relationship products, validate checksums and publish only manifest-declared assets.

Questions

Use the edition without overstating it.

Is this US federal contract awards dataset free?+

Yes. Manifest-present CSV, JSON and JSONL files can be downloaded without an account, email address or payment details.

What is included?+

USAspending prime contract award summaries, public suppliers and prime award-recipient relationships for awards whose base award date is on or after April 4, 2022.

What is excluded?+

Transactions, IDVs, subawards, contract opportunities and contacts are not included. DUNS and D&B-derived or legacy business location, contact and officer fields are also excluded.

Does an edition contain contracts awarded yesterday?+

No. Each edition is a three-day rolling window of prime award summaries newly reported or updated in USAspending, deduplicated by award key. The scheduler targets an edition date one day behind in America/New_York.

What do cumulative obligations and outlays mean?+

They are award-level cumulative balances reported as of the snapshot. They are not the dollars obligated or paid on the edition date, and they must not be summed across repeated snapshots or relationship rows.

Why can recent DoD or USACE awards be absent?+

USAspending documents a 90-day publication delay for Department of Defense and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers procurement data. A correct public snapshot can therefore omit recent defense activity.

Which supplier identifiers are published?+

The free supplier product uses the source-published recipient name and prefers UEI, then CAGE when UEI is absent, then an award-scoped unresolved hash so same-name entities are never merged. Pre-April 4, 2022 supplier history is excluded pending provenance and legal review.

Is this the authoritative award record?+

No. Use source_url and the official USAspending record to verify time-sensitive or decision-critical facts.
