Data Quality

PRINTER-FRIENDLY

The Transparency Act requires Federal agencies to report data on their transactions in never before-required timeliness and detail. Agencies will always be challenged to provide the required data under the Act's deadlines, but they are committed to improve until they meet the Act's requirements. If you would like to access the data directly, please click here.

This page will report transparently on two categories of data quality: timeliness and completeness.

•Data Timeliness: Data provided by agencies is for transactions completed by the date listed in the table below.
•Data Completeness: Data provided by agencies includes the following percentage of data elements required by the Transparency Act.

Data Timeliness

This Table outlines the date of the most recent submission of data received from 24 Major Agencies that was loaded to USASpending.gov. Note that the receipt dates below do not reflect the actual date of posting to USAspending.gov or the date obligations are made to recipients.

To view a more detailed chart depicting the status of agency data submissions, please click here. This chart is updated for every data refresh cycle to reflect any data, including revisions and deletions, each agency submits up to that time.
