A run summary (notices scanned, saved, filtered) is stored in the OUTPUT record of the key-value store.

How it works

SAM.gov publishes a daily extract of all contract opportunity notices, newest first. The Actor streams it and stops as soon as it reaches notices older than your date range, so a 1–7 day search takes seconds. About 500 new notices are posted every business day.

• The extract is refreshed once a day (early morning US time). Notices posted after the refresh appear the next day.
• Attachments (SOW, drawings) are not included; open the url to download them on SAM.gov.
• Some notices have no description in the extract or point to an attachment instead.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.002 per notice saved ($2 per 1,000), plus a tiny start fee. Filtered-out notices are free. Set Max opportunities or a maximum cost per run to cap spending; the run stops cleanly at that limit.

Data source and terms

Contract opportunity data is US federal government public data published by the General Services Administration on SAM.gov. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by SAM.gov or GSA. Always confirm deadlines and requirements on the official notice before bidding.
