Wanted: Government & Business Content Creators
Federal spending data is public information — but it's buried in databases most people don't know exist. GovProcure surfaces the stories that matter every week: the biggest contract awards, the fastest-growing grant programs, the agencies spending the most — all verified, all citable, all ready to build content around.
The Challenge
Timely, Specific Content
"Government spending" content is valuable to business audiences but hard to make specific and timely. Generic articles about the federal budget don't drive engagement. This week's actual contract awards do.
Research Across Multiple Systems
Finding newsworthy federal spending stories requires digging through SAM.gov (the federal contract database), USASpending.gov (the awards database), and Grants.gov (the grants database) — three separate systems with different search interfaces. Most content creators don't have time for that research.
Making It Relevant
Business audiences want to know "how does this affect me?" Federal procurement data answers that directly — but only if you have it in digestible form with clear context and actionable insights.

Questions We Hear All the Time
What are the biggest federal contract awards this week?
Our R-series national trend reports pull the largest contract obligations (binding spending commitments) from USASpending.gov every week. These are publicly available data — we just format them into a readable weekly summary. The largest awards can range from $10 million to multi-billion dollar contracts, depending on the agency and program. Defense contracts and IT modernization projects tend to be the largest.
Which companies are winning the most government contracts right now?
Our A1 Incumbent Contractor Analysis shows the top award recipients by agency and industry code. The usual suspects are large defense contractors and IT firms for major programs, but there's a robust ecosystem of small businesses winning contracts in every category. Small business set-aside awards (contracts reserved for small businesses by law) often make for more interesting content because the winners are companies your audience might actually recognize or relate to.
What federal grants are available for small businesses right now?
Our G-series report covers active grant listings on Grants.gov, including SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research — grants for startups developing new technology) and STTR (Small Business Technology Transfer — similar but requires partnering with a university). New programs get announced regularly as agencies exercise new funding authority. We also track HUD (Housing and Urban Development) community development grants and USDA (Agriculture) rural business programs.
How much does the federal government spend on contracts each year?
The U.S. federal government awards approximately $700 billion in contracts annually, plus roughly $900 billion in grants and assistance programs. DoD (Department of Defense) accounts for the largest share of contracts — about 60%. For context, that's larger than the entire GDP (total economic output) of most countries. Our R-series report breaks this down by agency and industry every week.
What federal spending trends are most relevant for business content in 2026?
Several major themes are driving federal spending right now: AI and technology modernization (agencies racing to adopt artificial intelligence tools), cybersecurity (mandatory after a series of high-profile breaches), clean energy and climate programs (from the Inflation Reduction Act passed in 2022), domestic manufacturing incentives (CHIPS Act semiconductor funding), and healthcare technology. Each of these is generating billions in new contracts and grants annually.
