Download the data
Nothing on this site is held back for a subscription. Every award row the pages are built from is here as a file, so you can sum it, sort it, or join it to something else — and check us rather than take our word for it.
The files
- awards.csv — every award used on the site, one row per award: product, award ID, recipient, agency, action date, amount, amount basis, evidence type, scope classification, any stated unit price, the award description as published, and the USAspending URL for the record.
- products.csv — one row per product: award counts, how many are licence or renewal purchases, the headline band (low, quartiles, median, high), the total, the agency count and the date range of the records.
- priceproof.json — the complete rendered dataset, exactly as the templates received it, including the award lists and the written prose. It is the same file the site builds from, not a summary of it.
The CSVs are generated from the same evidence as the pages, in the same run — there is no separate export to drift out of date. 2,368 award rows across 33 products, last built 5 Oct 2026.
The columns that need explaining
amountandamount_basis- The obligated value of the award as USAspending records it, whole dollars and cents, with the basis stated. This is a contract total: what the agency was awarded for the scope its description states. It is not the price of a licence, and two rows are not comparable with each other.
evidence_type-
Which kind of number the amount is.
contract_totalfor the value of an award,unit_pricewhere the award text states a price per unit. Never compare across types; the methodology says why. scope-
What the award appears to have bought —
license,renewal,support,training,services,bundle,modificationorunknown— classified from the description text. Only licence and renewal rows feed the headline band; the rest are published but excluded from it, because a services award is not a price for the product. unit_price_value- Populated only where the award text itself states a per-unit price. Blank is the normal case: most federal awards state a total and a quantity, not a rate.
description_excerpt- The award description as published by the agency, quoted. Federal award text is written in capitals and carries internal codes; it is reproduced rather than tidied, because a tidy version of a quotation is no longer a quotation.
