Filters

recipient_name	Recipient name substring; case-insensitive match. Example: 'Lockheed Martin' matches 'LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP', 'LOCKHEED MARTIN MISSILES AND FIRE CONTROL', etc. USAspending also matches the PARENT company's name, so a parent name returns its subsidiaries' awards (e.g. Sikorsky under 'Lockheed Martin'). Combined with recipient_uei it is matched against that recipient's OWN name instead, and coverage_warning says how many awards it removed.
recipient_uei	Unique Entity Identifier (replaced DUNS in 2022). 12-character alphanumeric. Exact match: only awards made to this UEI itself. If it is also the parent of other recipients, their awards are NOT included and total_count is omitted, coverage_warning names the parent; use recipient_name with that name for the whole family.
awarding_agency	The TOPTIER awarding agency name, exact and case-sensitive; a sub-agency name (e.g. 'Defense Logistics Agency') or an abbreviation ('NASA') matches nothing. Examples: 'Department of Defense', 'National Aeronautics and Space Administration', 'Department of Health and Human Services'.
naics_code	6-digit North American Industry Classification System code. Example: '541710' (R&D in Physical/Engineering/Life Sciences). Exact match.
psc_code	Product or Service Code (4-character). Example: 'AR33' (R&D Space Flight Advanced Development). Exact match.
min_amount	Filter to awards with award_amount >= this value (USD). Use to focus on large contracts.
since	ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD). Only records on or after this date, on last_modified_date, except when sort_by is start_date, where it applies to start_date.
until	ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD). Only records on or before this date (the same date field as since).
sort_by	Field used for ordering. since/until apply to start_date when this is start_date, and to last_modified_date for every other sort. Default: last_modified_date (most-recently-modified first).
sort_order	Default: desc.
limit	Maximum records to return. Default 50, max 500.
