A federal contract award is budget confirmation. When a company wins government business, they're hiring, buying tools, and scaling operations, often within 60 days of the award date.
Federal agencies publish their contract awards on USASpending.gov, the official source for U.S. federal spending. Each award shows who won, which agency is buying, what for and how much. Unlike a funding round, the budget is already under contract.
Every day we pull new awards of $100,000 or more in technology and services categories and match each winner to its company domain. Each signal carries the amount, agency and sub-agency, performance period, what was bought and a plain-language summary.

How we build this signal
A daily job reads new federal awards at the source and ties each one to a company domain.
Every day we pull new awards from the USASpending.gov awards API, querying contracts and grants separately, and keep awards of $100,000 or more in technology and services categories.
For each award we fetch the full record: recipient, awarding agency and sub-agency, contract terms, parent award and obligations.
Each recipient is matched to a company domain through its federal registration number (UEI): SAM.gov first, then SEC EDGAR, then web search.
Each signal ID is built from the federal award ID, so one award is one record. New awards ship daily.
Each federal contract signal includes award metadata, agency information, and the recipient resolved to a company domain.
