Where does the list come from?

The SAM.gov public entity extract, which the U.S. General Services Administration publishes. We load it and keep the history, so a company's registration date, status and expiry are the registry's own.

The public entity extract is monthly; exclusions update daily. The page says which extract it was built from. Following the feed re-runs the search every week and tells you only about companies you haven't seen.

Does it include every new business in Illinois?

No. Only businesses that registered in SAM.gov for federal awards. Sole proprietorships registered under a person's name are left out.

Can I get it as a spreadsheet or into my CRM?

Yes. Once you follow a feed it is a saved search in your account: run it on the Find tab, enrich the companies into a sheet, send them to HubSpot or Salesforce, or take the signals by webhook.
