SAM.gov Scraper - Federal Contracts, Exclusions & Grants

Extract data from SAM.gov (System for Award Management), the U.S. federal government's primary procurement portal. Covers four data indices that no other scraper combines:

• Opportunities -- Contract solicitations, pre-solicitations, combined synopses, sources sought, award notices, and special notices (5.5M+ records)
• Exclusions -- Debarment and suspension list for compliance vetting (167K+ records)
• Wage Determinations -- Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage rates by location (107K+ records)
• Assistance Listings -- Federal grant and loan programs (7.3K+ programs)

No API key required. Uses the unauthenticated SAM.gov frontend search API.

Features

• Multi-index coverage -- Search all four SAM.gov data types from a single actor
• Rich filtering -- Keyword search, NAICS codes, opportunity type, set-aside category, agency, state, and active-only toggle
• Clean output -- HTML stripped from descriptions, organization hierarchy flattened to department/agency/office, direct SAM.gov links for every record
• Fast -- 100 records in ~2 seconds, 10,000 records in ~5 minutes

SBIR/STTR Topic Fields

For Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) opportunities, the scraper extracts a topic identifier from the solicitation number or title:

• topic_number — The SBIR/STTR topic code (e.g. A214-013, AF252-D012) for per-topic solicitations, or the BAA cycle code (e.g. 22.4, 23.D) for umbrella DoD-wide announcements. Empty for non-SBIR/STTR opportunities.
• topic_description — The opportunity title for per-topic solicitations (where the title is the topic description). Empty for umbrella cycle BAAs and non-SBIR/STTR opportunities.

Example AFWERX/Army SBIR opportunity:

{
"title":"Behavioristic Electromagnetic Spectrum Assessment General Learning Engine (BEAGLE)",
"solicitationNumber":"W50RAJ-20-S-0001_SBIR_BAA_A214-013",
"topic_number":"A214-013",
"topic_description":"Behavioristic Electromagnetic Spectrum Assessment General Learning Engine (BEAGLE)"
}

To filter results to only SBIR/STTR opportunities, search with keyword: "SBIR" or keyword: "STTR" and post-filter on a non-empty topic_number.

Limitations

• The SAM.gov API caps results at 10,000 records per query. For larger datasets, use narrower keyword or date filters and run multiple times.
• Entity registration data (the ent index) requires session authentication and is not supported.
• The sfm filters (opportunity type, set-aside, state) affect result ordering but may not reduce the totalElements count in the API response metadata.
• No proxy is needed -- SAM.gov is a U.S. government site with no anti-bot measures.

Use Cases

• Government contractors monitoring new opportunities matching their NAICS codes
• Compliance teams checking the exclusion list before awarding subcontracts
• Business development teams tracking agency spending patterns
• Construction firms looking up prevailing wage rates by location
• Grant seekers finding federal assistance programs in their domain
