SAM.gov Contract Opportunities: Search & New-Notice Alerts

Find U.S. federal contract opportunities on SAM.gov and get them as clean, structured data. Filter by keyword, NAICS code, set-aside, notice type and state. Each notice includes the full description, contracting contacts and direct attachment download links.

Switch on alert mode and schedule the Actor daily, and each run returns only the notices you haven't seen yet. That gives you a daily bid feed without paying for a GovCon subscription.

• No API key, no login. Works out of the box.
• Full details. Description, NAICS, PSC, set-aside, place of performance, points of contact, award info and attachments.
• Alert mode. Get only new notices on every scheduled run, tracked separately for each filter set.
• Agent-ready output. Flat, predictable JSON for AI proposal tools, CRMs, Slack and Google Sheets.

Who uses it

• Small businesses and 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB and WOSB firms watching for set-aside opportunities in their NAICS codes.
• Business-development and capture teams feeding new solicitations into a CRM or spreadsheet.
• Proposal writers and AI agents that need the full description and attachments to qualify a bid.
• Market researchers tracking which agencies buy what.

Set up a daily alert

1. Set your filters and turn on Only new notices (alert mode).
2. Run it once. The first run returns everything that currently matches and remembers it.
3. Add a daily Schedule in Apify Console. Every later run returns only notices that are new for those filters.
4. Optionally connect an integration (email, Slack, Google Sheets) to receive each day's new notices.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? From the public search that powers SAM.gov's own website. Federal procurement notices are public records.

Do I need a SAM.gov API key? No.

Why did a notice match my keyword when the title doesn't mention it? SAM.gov's keyword search also looks at descriptions and attached clauses. Add NAICS or notice-type filters to narrow results.

How fresh is the data? Each run queries SAM.gov live, so results are as current as SAM.gov itself.

Are contacts included? Yes, the contracting officers listed on each public notice. Use them only to respond to that opportunity.
