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.
