Ask federal spending questions in plain English, free to start
SpendQuery's question box at the top of this page answers plain-English questions about federal spending, for example “Which agencies spent the most on janitorial services in FY2025?”, and shows the dataset and the exact query behind every number. It is free and needs no sign-up while SpendQuery is in beta.
- What you can ask. Totals, rankings and trends by agency, company, industry, state, county and year, plus open contract opportunities and state and city spending. The question library has tested examples by agency, state and county.
- Where the numbers come from. Federal prime awards from USAspending.gov since fiscal year 2023 (contracts, grants, loans and direct payments; amounts are obligations, money committed), open notices from SAM.gov, and state and city open-data portals. The sources page lists each one, how often it updates and its limits.
- Free tools with no sign-up. The tools page lists them, including the FAR navigator with Ask the FAR, the NAICS finder and the size standard check.
- Cost and limits. SpendQuery is in beta: asking is free. Answers come from public records and can be wrong when a question is read the wrong way, so each shows the query that ran, which makes a misreading easy to spot.
- Other free options. USAspending.gov ↗ is the official source, with award search and downloads but no plain-English questions; Treasury's Fiscal Data ↗ covers the government's overall spending.
- How to check a figure. Open the query under an answer and run it yourself, or compare the total with USAspending.gov; the accuracy page shows how SpendQuery's totals compare with it, checked daily.
Who won federal and state IT support contracts in your state
Federal IT support winners come from USAspending.gov award records, filtered by where the work is done and by IT industry codes; SpendQuery's IT services page does this for every state, free: agencies obligated $70.9 billion on IT services contracts in fiscal 2025, 69% of it for work in Virginia, Maryland and DC. A state's own IT contracts are separate, published by each state, county or city that shares its data.
- Pick your state, by place of performance. Where the work is done shows who wins work in your state; a company's recipient location is where it is registered, which for national firms is often Virginia.
- Use the IT codes. NAICS 541512 for systems design and integration, 541511 for custom software, 541513 for computer facilities management and 541519 for help desk and other support; product and service codes starting with D catch IT work coded by what was bought.
- Read the winners, amounts and agencies. Each state's federal contracts page ranks its contractors and buying agencies, and the IT winners guide names the largest in four states, with sources.
- State and local IT winners. A state's own agencies, cities and school districts aren't in USAspending.gov: the state and local search covers those that publish open data, and state checkbooks show what a state paid its IT vendors.
- Recent awards and their lag. Defense contracts reach USAspending.gov about 90 days after award, civilian ones within days; recently awarded lists SAM.gov award notices from the last weeks.
- Open IT bids and who likely wins them. Open IT solicitations (systems design shown; change the code for the others), each with a brief on the likely incumbent and the companies that win similar work.
