Gov Contract Opportunities: SAM.gov + EU TED + USAspending

Get new government contract opportunities and awards from the U.S. and Europe in one clean, deduplicated feed. It covers U.S. federal bids, RFQs, RFIs and sources-sought notices from SAM.gov, public tenders from all EU/EEA countries on TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), and newly signed U.S. federal contracts from USAspending.gov. Filter by keyword, NAICS, PSC, CPV, set-aside, agency, country/state, value and deadline. Put it on a schedule and it delivers only what's new since the last run, with an optional Slack/Discord/Teams/Zapier alert.

• 💸 $0.50 per 1,000 new notices ($0.45 Bronze, $0.40 Silver, $0.35 Gold and above). No start fee, no monthly rental. You pay only for new notices saved. Notices you already received, duplicates, amendment updates, "nothing new" rows and errors are free.
• 🔓 No API key, no login, no proxy. SAM.gov's public search, the official TED Search API v3 and the official USAspending API, all politely rate-limited.
• 🔔 Built for alerts: since-last-run memory per search (or per stateKey), a free baseline first run, catch-up after missed schedules, and a webhook digest that is sent only when something new or changed turns up.
• ✏️ Change tracking: when a notice you already have is amended (new deadline, cancelled, award posted, TED corrigendum), you get a free update row that spells out what changed.
• 🎯 Low noise: whole-word keyword matching with plurals and prefix*, any/all logic, exclude words, title-only scope, and stripping of standard FAR/DFARS clause lists and CMMC boilerplate, so "cybersecurity" doesn't match every DLA hardware buy.
• 📇 Everything to act on: contacts (name, email, phone), deadline with days left, set-aside, NAICS/PSC/CPV with descriptions, place of performance, estimated/award value with USD conversion, awardee, attachment list with public download links, and optional attachment download.

Who it's for

• Small businesses and GovCon BD teams: a daily list of SAM.gov bids in your NAICS and set-asides, straight into Slack or your CRM.
• Companies selling into Europe: TED tenders by CPV and country in English where available, in the same format as U.S. notices.
• Capture managers and competitive intel: who just won what (USAspending new awards and SAM.gov award notices), with amounts and agencies.
• Consultants, bid writers and lead-gen agencies: one saved monitor per client (stateKey).
• AI agents and automations: stable JSON schema with a one-line digest per notice.

Notes and limits

• SAM.gov: uses the same public search the sam.gov website uses (active notices, newest first, up to 10,000 per search). Controlled/export-restricted attachments are listed but never downloaded.
• TED: keyword search uses TED's full-text index, which mostly works in the notice's original languages. For broad EU coverage, combine keywords with CPV codes, or use CPV alone.
• USAspending: shows awards once agencies report them (DoD up to ~90 days later). Each award is delivered once; later modifications are not re-sent.
• Values in other currencies are converted with the European Central Bank's daily reference rates.
• Data comes from official public sources and is provided as-is. Always confirm details on the official notice before bidding.
