Brazil Government Contract Awards

Find out who won which Brazilian public contract, for how much, and from which buyer. This Actor reads the official national portal for public procurement (PNCP, run by the Brazilian federal government) and returns clean, structured contract records you can filter by keyword, state and value.

Typical uses:

• Competitor tracking – see what a rival supplier (by CNPJ) has just won, and from whom.
• Price benchmarking – check what public buyers actually paid for uniforms, notebooks, ambulances, IT services or any product.
• Sales leads – find buyers that recently bought what you sell, with the winning supplier and contract value.
• Market research – compare spending by state, buyer or category.

Search terms are matched in Portuguese (the language of the contracts), ignoring accents. Example keywords: uniforme, notebook, ambulância, combustível.

How to use

1. Add one or more keywords (Portuguese or product names).
2. Choose how many days back to look (Signed in the last N days).
3. Optionally narrow by state (UF), category, minimum value or a single supplier CNPJ.
4. Add Exclude words to remove noise (for example mão de obra, luva).
5. Run the Actor and download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Pricing

Pay per event, with no extra platform usage fees for you:

• US$ 0.02 per run (start fee)
• US$ 0.03 per contract returned

Example: a run that returns 50 contracts costs 0.02 + 50 × 0.03 = US$ 1.52. If a run finds nothing, you pay only the start fee. Use Max results to cap your spending.

Good to know (please read)

• The portal is slow and rate-limited. The Actor scans the newest days first and stops when it reaches your Max scan time (default 3 minutes, maximum 15) or your Max results. For long periods or very rare keywords, a run may not cover every day you asked for. If you need a wider search, raise the scan time or split the period into several runs.
• The portal publishes with a delay. The most recent contracts can take a few days to appear.
• Only signed contracts by default. Small purchase-commitment notes (empenhos) are excluded unless you tick Include purchase commitments. Contracts published with no value are hidden unless you set the minimum value to 0.
• Keyword matching is simple text matching. A word can appear in an unrelated context, so use Exclude words and check relevanceScore.
• Values come exactly as the portal reports them. Occasional typing errors in the original data (for example an unusually large value) are not corrected.
• Privacy (LGPD). Suppliers that are individuals (CPF) are shown as "Individual supplier (masked)", and CPF numbers found inside names or descriptions are masked. Company names and CNPJ numbers are public business data and are returned as published.
• Optional English translation. Paste your own Anthropic API key to translate each description. Translation costs are billed by Anthropic to your key, not by this Actor.
