Carefully curated list of awesome US federal government procurement data resources.

The US Federal Government obligates something like $1 trillion each year through federal contracts. It also generates a ton of data about federal procurement. This list attempts to create access to the APIs, utilities, and systems that power the federal #govcon landscape.
