USAspending.gov is a new web site that houses a database of US Government contract to private businesses.
The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Transparency Act) requires a single searchable website, accessible by the public for free that includes for each Federal award:
- the name of the entity receiving the award;
- the amount of the award;
- information on the award including transaction type, funding agency, etc;
- the location of the entity receiving the award;
- a unique identifier of the entity receiving the award.
Select Contracts to perform a search. Export the data in .csv or .xml.
Isn't more transparency good?
