Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## SAM.gov Contract Opportunities Search active federal contract opportunities from the SAM.gov API. Find government solicitations filtered by keyword, agency, NAICS code, state, set-aside type, and posting date range. ### Features - Search all active federal contract opportunities on SAM.gov - Filter by keyword, NAICS code, state, agency name - Filter by small business set-aside types (SBA, SBP, WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, 8A) - Filter by posting date range - Returns full solicitation details including descriptions and response deadlines - Free API key required from sam.gov ### Use Cases - **Government Contractors**: Discover new contract opportunities that match your company's capabilities and NAICS codes. Filter by set-aside type if you're a small business. - **Market Research**: Analyze federal procurement trends by agency, state, or industry to identify where government spending is headed. - **Bid/No-Bid Decisions**: Quickly triage new opportunities by keyword and response deadline to decide which RFPs are worth pursuing. - **Daily Opportunity Monitoring**: Run this actor on a schedule to get alerts whenever new contracts matching your criteria are posted. - **Competitive Intelligence**: Track which agencies are issuing contracts in your space and what set-asides they're using. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | Default | |------------|--------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|---------| | api_key | string | **Required.** Your SAM.gov API key | — | | keyword | string | Search keyword for contract opportunities | — | | naicsCode | string | NAICS industry code filter (e.g. 541512 for IT consulting) | — | | state | string | 2-letter US state code (e.g. CA, TX) | — | | agency | string | Contracting agency name | — | | setAside | string | Set-aside type: SBA, SBP, WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, 8A | — | | postedFrom | string | Start date filter (MM/dd/yyyy) | — | | postedTo | string | End date filter (MM/dd/yyyy) | — | | limit | number | Maximum results to return | 100 | ### Output Example result: ```` { "title": "Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure Services", "solicitationNumber": "FA8732-25-R-0012", "department": "Department of Defense", "subTier": "Department of the Air Force", "office": "Hanscom AFB", "postedDate": "01/15/2025", "type": "Solicitation", "baseType": "Solicitation", "archiveDate": "02/28/2025", "setAsideCode": "SBA", "setAside": "Total Small Business Set-Aside", "responseDeadline": "02/14/2025", "naicsCode": "518210", "classificationCode": "D302 - IT and Telecom: IT Support", "description": "The Air Force seeks proposals for enterprise cloud infrastructure migration and managed services across three CONUS locations...", "organizationType": "U.S. Federal Government", "state": "MA", "city": "Hanscom AFB", "zip": "01731", "countryCode": "USA", "links": \[ "https://sam.gov/opp/abc123/view" ] } ```` | Field | Type | Description | |---------------------|--------|-------------------------------------------------------| | title | string | Solicitation title | | solicitationNumber | string | Official solicitation number | | department | string | Parent department | | subTier | string | Sub-tier agency | | office | string | Issuing office | | postedDate | string | Date posted (MM/dd/yyyy) | | type | string | Opportunity type | | baseType | string | Base opportunity type | | archiveDate | string | Archive/expiry date | | setAsideCode | string | Set-aside code | | setAside | string | Set-aside description | | responseDeadline | string | Proposal submission deadline | | naicsCode | string | NAICS industry code | | classificationCode | string | Product/service classification code | | description | string | Full solicitation description | | organizationType | string | Issuing organization type | | state | string | State of the issuing office | | city | string | City of the issuing office | | zip | string | ZIP code | | countryCode | string | Country code | | links | array | Array of related SAM.gov URLs | ### Pricing $2.00 per 1,000 results ($0.002 per result). ### 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 **Where do I get an API key?** Register at https://sam.gov — it's free. After registration, request an API key from your account settings. Approval is typically instant. **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). **How current is the data?** The API reflects real-time SAM.gov data. New postings appear as soon as they are published by the contracting agency. ### Limits & Rate Limits - Maximum 1,000 results per query - SAM.gov API enforces rate limits — approximately 10 requests per minute per API key - Date filters must use MM/dd/yyyy format (not ISO 8601) - At least one search parameter is recommended to avoid overly broad results - Archived opportunities may have limited detail available # Actor input Schema ## `api_key` (type: `string`): Your free SAM.gov API key.
