Research capabilities
See the purchasing patterns behind the records.
FPDS Charts is a dedicated visual analytics workspace built around connected federal award datasets. Compare federal buyers, contractors and industry markets, then save the views that matter to your research. Combine visualizations into a dashboard instead of rebuilding the same analysis for every review.
Compare federal contractors
Visualize vendor activity and the distribution of awards within a selected market. Examine concentration without losing sight of the data and filters behind the chart.
Explore NAICS and PSC markets
Break down federal procurement by industry or Product and Service Code. Compare buyers and suppliers within a relevant market rather than across unrelated work.
Build reusable dashboards
Create and save charts in your own workspace. Combine related visualizations into research dashboards and adjust filters as your question changes.

A clearer view for every market review.

Choose a metric and visualization that fit the question: a trend over time, a ranking of buyers or a breakdown of contractor activity.
Save the research dashboard
Bring related charts together for recurring reviews. Keep the period, filters and metric definitions clear when interpreting changes.
Product questions
Before you start.
Who uses federal spending dashboards?
Analysts use them to examine procurement trends. Business development teams use them to prioritize buyers and markets. Executives use a focused dashboard to review the same research consistently.
How is FPDS Charts different from GovCon Dashboard?
FPDS Charts is for building your own charts and dashboards. GovCon Dashboard provides a connected research interface for opportunities, buyers, companies and award context.
Can a spending chart identify the current incumbent?
Not on its own. A chart shows the selected records and metric. Verify the relevant award, period of performance and relationship to the current requirement before identifying an incumbent.
