Spending Explorer Question: What data do you use to populate the Spending Explorer?

The Spending Explorer uses a combination of the new DATA Act data that’s submitted directly by agencies and spending data that’s linked to the award data; more specifically, it draws on File B, File C, and File D1/D2 data. You can find this data on the Raw Agency Submission Files page, and you can read more about what each file contains on our Data Model page.
