Scans every federal contract above $1M from USASpending.gov bulk data for one pattern: recipients with no prior federal contract history landing awards of $25M+ (or $10M+ on sole-source and single-offer contracts). A structural filter excludes ~1,600 verified entity types where no prior history is expected. Flags publish monthly at contractwatch.org. Python, Cloudflare Pages, MIT licensed. No agency affiliation.
