Email mattbusel@tensorust.com with the tier and a billing contact, and we will send a proper invoice (ACH or card). The file is delivered once the invoice is paid. Details and the live sample: https://tensorust.com/datasets/federal-ai-contracts/. All datasets: https://tensorust.com/datasets/

Method and limits

For each of 8 AI keywords, each fiscal year FY2021 to FY2026 and each award group (contracts, IDVs, grants), page through USAspending's keyword award search sorted by amount (no query hit the 10,000 row cap). Rows are deduplicated by USAspending award id; the keywords that matched are kept. unpaid_balance is computed only where an outlay is reported. ends_within_18_months uses the current period of performance end date.

Not a full count of federal AI spending: awards whose text never names AI are missed, and a keyword hit can be incidental (a grant that mentions machine learning once). Outlays are reported for about 77% of grants but only about 26% of contracts, so contract unpaid balances are partial. IDV ceilings are not in this table. Not a list of open solicitations.
