How It Works

This actor queries the SAM.gov Opportunities API v2 via direct HTTP requests. No browser or scraping involved. A free API key is required — you can get one instantly by registering at sam.gov. The API returns all active federal contract solicitations matching your filters.

FAQ

What types of opportunities are included? All active federal contract solicitations: RFPs, RFQs, sources sought notices, and award announcements. Grant opportunities are available through a separate SAM.gov API.

What set-aside types can I filter by? SBA (Small Business), SBP (Small Business Participation), WOSB (Women-Owned Small Business), HUBZone, SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned), and 8A (8(a) Business Development).
