US Federal Contract Awards Search (FPDS)
fpds/search-awards
Searches US federal contract awards in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) for awards signed on or after 4 April 2022, by words in the award record such as a vendor name, an agency or a contract description, and returns ten awards a page (use `nextStart` to read on). Each award holds the awarding agency, the contracting agency, the vendor's legal name and Unique Entity ID (UEI), the contract number (PIID), the dates signed, effective and current completion, the obligation of this action, the total obligation and the total value, and the description of the requirement. Vendor addresses, phone numbers and other registration details are not returned. A search with no match returns an empty list. U.S. federal government data from the General Services Administration; served by Eden Engine; not an official GSA or FPDS product.
