Contract Award Data
To manage and run reports on contract award data, access the DataBank. To search for specific contract award data, use the "Contracting" domain and select "Contract Awards."
Contract data provides detailed information on all contract actions that are required to be reported by federal agencies. These are actions with an estimated value of $10,000 or more.
FPDS.gov remains the authoritative source for searchable contract data during the migration.
