Friendly US Government contracts database

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:
  1. the name of the entity receiving the award;
  2. the amount of the award;
  3. information on the award including transaction type, funding agency, etc;
  4. the location of the entity receiving the award;
  5. 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?
