Incumbent Finder for SAM.gov Opportunities
For each open federal contract opportunity on SAM.gov, this Actor finds the likely incumbent: the company holding the current contract, what it's worth, when it ends, and how confident the match is. It answers the first question in every bid/no-bid decision, "who has it now and when does it expire?", from official government data.
How it works
- Reads the official SAM.gov Contract Opportunities extract (public, no API key) and keeps the opportunities that match your filters (NAICS, state, set-aside, notice type, keywords, posted date).
- For each opportunity, searches USASpending.gov for contracts from the same agency, with the same NAICS and place of performance, over the last N years. It runs a second search on the title's key words.
- Scores each candidate on description similarity, same PSC, same NAICS, same state, and an end date inside the recompete window. Returns the best match and runners-up.

confidence is high (score ≥55), medium (≥35), low (≥30) or none. These are matches on public data, not a statement from the agency: always check the award link. A brand-new requirement has no incumbent, and some contracts are run under a different agency or a multi-agency vehicle.
Pricing (pay per event)
$0.003 per run and $0.01 per opportunity enriched. A weekly run of 25 opportunities costs about $0.25.
