5.5.4: USAspending.gov
Submit our own data as well as data for other Federal agencies. Other Information:
The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, also called the Transparency Act, requires a single, searchable
Web site, accessible to the public for free, that includes information about federal awards. The Web site includes information
about government expenditures and payments made through contracts, grants, loans and other methods. GSA reports contracts,
charge card, and information technology spending information to USAspending.gov. GSA’s data is largely submitted from two
sources: the Federal Procurement Data System and the SmartPay® program, both managed by GSA. In accordance with Transparency
Act requirements and acquisition regulations, GSA’s organizations enter contract data into the Federal Procurement Data System
periodically. The GSA SmartPay® 2 Program provides charge cards to U.S. government agencies and departments, as well as tribal
governments, through master contracts that are negotiated with major national banks. GSA’s Office of Charge Card Management
(OCCM) currently receives charge card data provided by the banks and submits this data to USASpending.gov each month. GSA
submits its own data as well as data for other Federal agencies. Data is displayed by agency as well as by business line (purchase,
travel and fleet).
