| Welcome to USASpending.gov |
| 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. |

to use website. The data is largely from sources: the Federal Procurement Data System,
which contains information about federal contracts; and the Federal Assistance Award Data System,
which contains information about federal financial assistance such as grants,
loans, insurance, and direct subsidies like Social Security. To view the Privacy Impact Assessment for this application please click here To view our privacy policy click here To view our schedule of records click here
