SAM.gov Contract Opportunities: Official Daily Extract

Get every active U.S. federal contract opportunity from SAM.gov as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. Filter by keyword, NAICS code, set-aside, notice type, place-of-performance state, agency and posting date. You don't need an API key, a login or a browser.

The actor reads SAM.gov's official public "Contract Opportunities" daily extract, the bulk download SAM.gov publishes for reuse at sam.gov/data-services. It does not crawl the SAM.gov website or its internal search API.

Why use this actor

• Terms-friendly source: it uses the public extract SAM.gov provides for downloading, not website scraping.
• Full coverage: each run scans all active notices (71,333 on 17 Oct 2026), with no 10,000-result search cap.
• Reliable: one plain HTTPS download, so there are no proxies, CAPTCHAs or browser breakage.
• Monitor mode: schedule it daily and receive only notices you haven't seen before.
• Privacy by default: point-of-contact fields are left out unless you turn them on.

Who it's for

Small businesses and BD teams bidding on federal work, GovCon consultants, newsletter publishers, and anyone feeding federal RFPs into Slack, Google Sheets, a CRM or an AI agent.
