SAM.gov Contract Opportunities Scraper — Federal Bids API

Search and monitor US federal government contract opportunities — solicitations, RFPs, combined synopses, sources-sought notices, presolicitations and award notices — straight from the official SAM.gov Contract Opportunities data extract published daily by GSA. Filter by keyword, NAICS code, set-aside, notice type, agency and place of performance, then schedule it with incremental mode to get only new bids every morning. No SAM.gov account, no API key, no rate limits.

Quick start

1. Click Start with the prefilled keyword software. It finishes in under a minute.
2. You get up to 25 current federal contract opportunities with deadlines, NAICS and set-aside codes.
3. That first run costs at most $0.05, well within Apify's free monthly credit. Then swap in your own input or schedule it.

FAQ

How do I get SAM.gov contract opportunities without an API key? Use this Actor. It reads the public Contract Opportunities data extract that GSA publishes daily, so you need no SAM.gov account, no login.gov and no API key. Filter by keyword, NAICS, set-aside, agency or state.

Do I need a SAM.gov account or API key? No. The Actor reads the public Contract Opportunities data extract that GSA publishes for everyone, updated daily.

How fresh is the data? SAM.gov regenerates the extract once a day (early morning US Eastern time), so new notices appear the next day. Schedule the Actor daily with sinceLastRun: true for a morning digest.

Can I search older opportunities? Yes. Set postedAfter to an earlier date. The dataset is ordered newest first, so recent searches are fastest.

Where are the contracting officer contacts? Individual names, emails and phone numbers are excluded by design. Open notice_url for the full notice, attachments and points of contact on SAM.gov.

Can I call it from Python, JavaScript, Make, Zapier or an AI agent? Yes. Run it through the Apify API or official Python/JavaScript clients, connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Slack or Google Sheets via Apify integrations, or expose it to AI agents through the Apify MCP server.
