Recipient Definition
Federal Assistance Awards Data System does not have any data fields that define a single recipient of
assistance across multiple records (i.e., one entry that would list multiple
awards for the same recipient). Clearly, this would be convenient, since it
would be useful to look up a single recipient and find out the total assistance
for any given year. |
|
Therefore, USAspending.gov has created its own recipient ID based on the following steps:
first, the name of the recipient in each Federal Assistance Awards Data System records is regularized by discarding some
punctuation, removing words like "Co." or "Inc.", and
standardizing certain abbreviations. Then, all records with the same
regularized recipient name and recipient state are assumed to belong to the
same recipient. A single overall recipient name is chosen for this group of
records, based on the most commonly occurring name within the un-standardized
recipient names for the group. |
|
This method of grouping records by recipient name and state has some
disadvantages. It may, for instance, treat a multi-state recipient as being
more than one entity, thereby listing the same group twice in different states,
or it may group unrelated entities together that happen to have the same name
within the same state. But, the advantages of a common recipient name to enable
aggregate totals across records outweigh the problems. |
|
As a final step, the names of many recipients were standardized from the
original federal data. State agencies, for instance, now begin with the name of
the state fully spelled out. So the original recipient name of NC ST DEPARTMENT
OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVIC, for example, was changed to NORTH CAROLINA DEPT
OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES. This should make searches easier and subtotals
more meaningful. |
Fiscal Year |
Sometimes Federal Assistance Awards Data System marks information as being either corrections to data for a
previous fiscal year or as late filings for a previous fiscal year. To give the
proper scope of federal spending in any given fiscal year, we have displayed
these data as being part of the fiscal year that they modify, not as part of
the fiscal year in which they were reported. |
|
Recipient Type |
Federal Assistance Awards Data System' categorization of what type of entity receives assistance (e.g., individual,
state government, private higher education) and how the assistance is delivered
(e.g., direct payment, loan, block grant) includes too many values to be
conveniently displayed on USAspending.gov. Therefore, we have grouped the
original recipient types and assistance type into streamlined summary
categories. Users can access the detailed categories Federal Assistance Awards Data System uses by selecting
the "Complete (all information)" level of detail option available for
all data output. The USAspending.gov groupings for recipient type and
assistance type are detailed in the two charts below: |

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Program Titles |
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Program is a database that
classifies all federal programs that provide funding to local government
agencies, private institutions, and individuals. Each program is assigned a
number and name. Most of the time, CFDA program numbers match up with
associated program titles easily. However, there are instances of CFDA program
numbers appearing in Federal Assistance Awards Data System that are not listed in the current CFDA program
title list. When this happens, USAspending.gov chooses a single best program
title for each non-associated number. In some cases this suppresses variations
in program titles for a single CFDA program number. |
Parent Company Definition
The most basic task that many users want to accomplish is to look up a
particular contractor and find out which contracts they have received. This
makes the most sense if done by parent company -- the entity that owns multiple
divisions, "doing business as" names, or subsidiaries that may show up as
individual contractor names. |
|
The Federal Procurement Data System includes limited information on parent company identity. Therefore, USAspending.gov utilizes parent company information provided by Dun & Bradstreet. Where a search on this site groups together records by parent company, or when a user searches by parent company name, they are using parent company names and parent DUNS Numbers as supplied by Dun & Bradstreet. |
|
There may exist some errors in these parent company assignments, so that transaction records that really apply to different contractors are grouped together. In cooperation with Duns & Bradstreet, we will periodically fix any such errors that are brought to our attention. |
|
Competition Category
There are five data fields in Federal Procurement Data System that are useful for assessing the level of
competition of a contract: the Extent Competed, Reason Not Competed,
Number of Offers Received, Statutory Exception to Fair Opportunity,
and Type of Set Aside. USAspending.gov has combined information from all
five of these fields into one overall summation of the amount of competition
for each transaction, called the competition category. More specific
"transactions" are summed by these new competition categories in
various tables. |
|
Transactions were classified as follows. "Full and open"
competition means that all responsible sources (or potential contractors) are
permitted to compete. Those with Extent Competed indicating full and open
competition or competitive delivery order were provisionally put in the full
and open competition category. "Full and open with at least one
exclusion" includes competitions in which a certain sources are not
permitted to compete. "Exclusive competitions" can happen only if
certain conditions are met. Transactions were removed from this category that
had a reason for non-competition, a statutory exception to fair opportunity, or
a set-aside and added to the "competition after exclusion of sources"
category. Those remaining in the full and open competition category that had
zero or one offers were moved to a category of full and open competition with
only one bid. The other noncompetition categories are modeled from Federal Procurement Data System Extent
Competed values. "Follow-on contract" is a contract that continues
the funding stream and obligations of a contract that has already been issued. |
The table below shows how USAspending.gov streamlines Federal Procurement Data System competition
categories: |

Competition Graphs |
Contractor profiles and summary level search results receive
pie charts which graphs four categories for levels of competition. The graph
uses Full and Open Competition, and Full and Open Competition But Only One Bid
unaltered from the rest of the site. However, most of the remaining categories
(Competition after Exclusion of Sources, Follow-on Contract, Not Available for
Competition, and Not Competed) are compressed into one group on the graph
(although the accompanying table still lists the specific amounts for the
individual categories) which represents less than full competition. The final
category used for the graph is unknown. It should also be noted that for
graphing purposes, negative numbers, which represent de-obligated funds, are
treated as zero in the graph (although they are listed in the accompanying table). |
|
|
This is a list of all of the data fields in USAspending.govs copy of the Federal Procurement Data System (Federal Procurement Data System) (federal contracts) database. It can be used to see what kind of data each field displayed in the extensive or complete levels of detail contains. The "Field Type" column provides the type and size of the field, in case you wish to load USAspending.gov data into your own database. The "% blank" column shows what percentage of the data records have the data field blank -- this can be useful when you want to estimate whether a particular data element is well maintained or not. |
