Our data, and how current it is

Every dataset we serve, what it covers, and exactly how current our copy is, read live. Where the most recent weeks look thin, it is the upstream system that has not reported yet, not us, and each source says so below.

Contract Opportunities

SAM.gov · Updated daily

Every federal contract notice, with full descriptions.

2026-06-24
Current as of
577,622
Records
Posted date
Event date axis
Oct 2024 onward (FY2025+)
Coverage

Note: Synced from SAM.gov daily. Award notices stay on file for years after award, so the set always includes older records by design. That is retention, not staleness.

Federal Contracts (FPDS)

FPDS · Updated daily

Every FPDS prime contract transaction.

2026-06-22
Current as of
9.1M+
Records
Action date
Event date axis
Oct 2024 onward (FY2025+)
Coverage

Note: FPDS reports promptly: about 95% of transactions post within 7 days of the action date, so the recent window is near-complete. Each row is one transaction, and modifications stack.

Subawards (FFATA)

FFATA subaward reports · Updated daily

FFATA subawards: who the primes paid as subs.

2026-06-18
Current as of
218,935
Records
Subaward action date
Event date axis
Oct 2024 onward (FY2025+)
Coverage

Note: Subawards are filed weeks after the work. Only about 12% appear within 7 days of the action date, so the most recent weeks are always sparse and fill in over time. That is upstream reporting lag, not a sync delay.

Grant Awards

Federal assistance (FABS) · Updated daily

Federal financial assistance already awarded (FABS).

2026-06-23
Current as of
1,138,916
Records
Action date
Event date axis
Oct 2024 onward (FY2025+)
Coverage

Note: Grant transactions arrive through the federal assistance reporting window, which lags the action date by 2 to 3 weeks, so the latest weeks fill in over time.

Grant Opportunities

grants.gov · Updated daily

Open grants.gov funding opportunities.

2026-06-24
Current as of
82,746
Records
Last updated
Event date axis
Full current corpus
Coverage

Note: The full grants.gov corpus is re-synced daily. Open, forecasted, and closed status is derived from each opportunity's dates at query time.

Entity Registry

SAM.gov · Monthly extract

SAM-registered entities and their registrations.

2026-06-07
Current as of
881,045
Records
SAM extract date
Event date axis
Current registrations
Coverage

Note: SAM publishes the public entity extract monthly, so 'current as of' tracks SAM's latest extract, not a daily pull. New registrations take about 30 days to appear upstream.

Exclusions

SAM.gov · Refreshed weekly

The full SAM debarment and exclusions list.

2026-06-18
Current as of
163,555
Records
Listing date
Event date axis
Current debarment list
Coverage

Note: Refreshed weekly as a full replace of the current SAM exclusions list (current state, no history). One UEI can hold multiple active records, and about 73% of exclusions are individuals with no UEI.

Federal Hierarchy

SAM.gov · Updated weekly

The federal agency organization tree.

2026-06-23
Current as of
907
Records
Last refreshed
Event date axis
Full agency tree
Coverage

Note: The federal organization tree is small and stable, refreshed weekly. It is reference data used for agency-path derivation.

Named contracting officers.
