Overview

The Stop Secret Spending Act of 2025 aims to increase transparency in federal spending by requiring agencies to report expenditures under ‘other transaction agreements’ (OTAs) on USAspending.gov. The bill expands the definition of ‘federal award’ to include OTAs, mandates automated data transmission to the website, and requires annual reports detailing unreported spending and the reasons for non-disclosure. It also directs the Office of Inspector General to assess agency spending data and use of data standards, and establishes a process for agencies to provide initial compilation of OTA data.
