Read contractor results and profiles

Application path: Main Menu → All Government Contractors → Find a Contractor → Search Contractors → Find a Subcontractor results → View Details for the company profile.

From Main Menu → All Government Contractors, enter your criteria on Find a Contractor and select Search Contractors. The next page is headed Find a Subcontractor. Use View Details beside a company to open its profile; select a research button there to continue to award history, GSA, SAM details or another available company screen. Back returns to the contractor search and Main Menu returns to the feature menu. See the search guide for the inputs and the profile actions below for the next choices.

Read the company list

This CAGE search result shows the company row and its View Details link.

Open the contractor result image at full size.

The list displays up to 50 rows per page. Use the page controls for more companies. Back returns to your previous page.

Export the list

Export To Excel downloads the company contact list. Review its headings before sorting, filtering or sharing the file.

Example: take a contractor list into Excel

Follow the Florida electrical contractor search: Main Menu → All Government Contractors → Keyword: electrical → State: Florida → Show Vendors with Award History Only → Search Contractors. On Find a Subcontractor, select Export To Excel and open the downloaded workbook in Excel or Google Sheets.

The illustrated download contains one Contacts worksheet with 3,908 company rows. The browser displays 50 rows at a time; this workbook gives you a longer list to filter and organize. Your count will depend on your search and the records available when you run it.

Enlarge the contact-columns illustration.

Enlarge the address-columns illustration. These views show the same worksheet, scrolled horizontally; column widths and zoom were adjusted for readability.

Use the list: turn on your spreadsheet's filters, filter City or Zip to your preferred area, and keep Company and Cage alongside any follow-up notes you add in a working copy. Sort the entire table together so contact details remain attached to the correct company. To investigate a firm's past work, use its Cage in All Government Contractors, select View Details, then View FBO/FPDS Award History. Return to the original results tab to continue through the list.

When no companies appear

Return with Back and simplify the search. Try a distinctive portion of the company name, a known CAGE, or fewer location filters.

For example, CAGE 41QM4 with North Carolina / 27612 matched a company, while changing ZIP to 99999 excluded it. Both location fields must match when supplied.

Read the company profile

The profile presents company identifiers and contacts below its research buttons. The image below is the 8EWY6 profile for ASRC FEDERAL ADVANCED RESEARCH, LLC, reached in a signed-in session by Main Menu → All Government Contractors → CAGE: 8EWY6 → Search Contractors → View Details. The result row identified the firm in Beltsville, Maryland. This is a useful example because its federal awards, MCRL parts, SAM registration, RoadMap and company opportunities all have visible results. Other buttons can lead to an empty view for the same company.

An earlier profile example for 41QM4 is also shown below.

View Details opens Vendor / CAGE Detail View when a CAGE is available. Otherwise it opens Vendor Detail View, with fewer research buttons.

Work through the company research actions

The eight buttons belong to the selected company, not to your own account profile. Start at View Details, choose one button, then use the resulting page's Back control when present. For a report or PDF that opens separately, return to the company-detail tab. The observed 8EWY6 outcomes below show what to expect; another company's data can differ.

The First 5000 records and Complete History radio choices sit below the action buttons. First 5000 records is selected initially. Choosing Complete History changed the observed NSN history request to the broader view, although this company's result was still empty. The MCRL request also received the selected view setting. Choose the shorter option first when researching a large company; these options do not filter the FBO/FPDS award table. At the top of the profile, Back returns to the contractor result list and Main Menu returns to the feature menu.

Example: Vendor Detail View without a CAGE

The saved October 14 example begins at Main Menu → All Government Contractors. It uses All, All States, ZIP 34684, UNITED STATES, and no optional checkboxes. The results include BLUE ZONE THERAPEUTICS LLC with no CAGE value. In this record, View Details is associated with a Vendor Detail View rather than Vendor / CAGE Detail View.

The row crop keeps the recorded View Details link and company name. The adjacent CAGE/Company crop shows the blank CAGE cell for this same row; unrelated result rows are masked. The observed row's destination is the no-CAGE Vendor Detail View.

In this saved profile, Cage and NAICS are blank. The other visible profile fields include the company name and address/contact categories; the crop masks those values for this teaching example. The only profile actions shown are Back and View SAM Details. The CAGE-specific award, GSA and MCRL research buttons are not shown in this view.

View SAM Details opens SAM Details View for the record. Its Back button returns to the Vendor Detail View; Back there returns to the contractor results. The saved form retained the original ZIP and search criteria when returning. The SAM image is cropped to the page title and navigation controls; identifying registration values are not repeated here.

These captures document a real saved result and its associated detail and return states. They do not establish that every company without a CAGE has the same populated fields.

Example: company address and work location

The October 10, 2026 search for CAGE 41QM4 opened L L BROOKS ENTERPRISES INC, Raleigh, NC 27612. Its award record showed work in Memphis. These answer two different questions: where the company is located and where the contract work is performed.
