FirmStanding

Open data · CC0 1.0

The multi-source employer file

A free slice of the FirmStanding registry: every employer entity that appears in two or more federal source systems — 290,121 entities — with identity fields and per-entity source and record counts. Dedicated to the public domain under CC0; no attribution required. Record-level detail (case numbers, penalties, dispositions) is served by the API, not this file.

Provenance

Underlying source vintages

Entities are matched by normalized name and address (see the methodology page); matches are probabilistic and the file inherits the limitations disclosed there. The slice regenerates after each weekly entity rebuild.
