Updated Database: FedSpending.org

On September 20, 2007, OMB Watch released another updated version of FedSpending.org, including new data for FY 2006 and FY 2007, additional search functionality, greater accessibility for people with disabilities, and patches and upgrades for reported bugs. The site now contains contracting data through the second quarter of FY 2007 and federal assistance data through the first three quarters of FY 2006.

In addition, users now have the ability to narrow contracting searches by using contractor characteristics, such as “minority owned business,” or “8A firms,” just to name a few. This function is called “Contractor Type” and can be found in the advanced search for contractors within the “Contracts” tab.

Finally, FedSpending.org now has added accessibility for people with disabilities (read more about accessibility upgrades and compliance). We plan to continue to upgrade the site to expand accessibility in line with standards established by the disability community. Please contact us should you experience any problems accessing the website.
