Usaspending.gov SQL Database Downloads

Overview

We provide the entire data set used by USAspending.gov as a PostgreSQL archive, which includes DATA Act data from Fiscal Year 2001 to present.

Additionally, we offer a much smaller subset of the data for developers or testers as PostgreSQL archive.
It includes a random sampling of awards, submission, and reference data. Which are enough data for running the application locally

Database download archives are generated on a monthly basis.
