Federal Spending (USAspending)

Every federal contract and financial-assistance transaction since fiscal year 2008, every reported subaward since FY2011, and the SAM.gov entity registrations behind them.

Recipients are identified by UEI, which is per SAM registration rather than per company — a large contractor has many (Boeing had 28 in FY2026), so roll up on recipient_parent_uei for company-level totals. And FY2015 has far more rows than FY2014 with no matching jump in dollars, because FPDS began capturing many low-value purchases then.
