How do I find out who won a government contract?

Every federal contract is public record. This tool searches the official USAspending.gov award records live — by company, keyword, NAICS code, or agency — so you can see who won a contract, what it paid, and which agency awarded it.

Where does the award data come from?

Straight from USAspending.gov, the government's own system of record for federal spending. Nothing here is estimated or invented; every figure comes from the official records.

Why look up past government contract awards?

Before you chase a contract, it pays to know who held it last and what it was worth. A contract awarded years ago is often up for renewal soon — knowing the incumbent, the amount, and the agency is the first step to getting in early on the next round.

Why look up past awards?

Before you chase a contract, it pays to know who held it last and what it was worth. The federal government publishes every contract award on USAspending.gov — the official source of federal spending data. This tool searches those records live and shows the results in plain English. Nothing here is estimated or invented; every figure comes straight from the government.

Who won it: Every federal contract is public record. Search by company to see what a competitor has won, or by keyword to see who is already doing the work you want to bid on.
What it paid: Each result shows the award amount straight from USAspending.gov — the government's own system of record — so you can size up a recompete before you spend time on the proposal.
When it recompetes: A contract that was awarded years ago is often up for renewal soon. Knowing the incumbent and the agency is the first step to getting in early on the next round.
