Contracts and Federal Spending
When I am researching a company that does or could do business with the government, I often turn to FedSpending.org or USASpending.gov. FedSpending.org is sponsored by OMB Watch which promotes government transparency and USASpending.gov is a government site. Both offer a searchable database to obtain detailed contract information. The researcher can query the database by contractor (business) name, place of performance, contracting agency, etc. Both sites operate off the same software, but there are subtle differences. The “map it” feature is nice on FedSpending.org, but it appears the government site is more current. Each site also has a Grants database.

- Do not use profanity or euphemisms for profanity.
- Do not personally attack or bait other commenters.
- Express your own views; don't just argue for argument's sake.
- Sarcasm doesn't work on the Web. Either avoid it or clearly label it so you aren't misinterpreted.
- Don't make the same point repetitively.
- No spam. Link to a commercial site only if it's relevant to the discussion.
