SAM.gov Federal Contract Opportunities Tracker (No API Key)

Find U.S. federal government contract opportunities and awards from SAM.gov without registering for an API key and without the API's rate limits. Filter more than 70,000 active notices by NAICS, set-aside, agency, state, keywords, posting date, open deadline and award value. You get clean JSON, CSV or Excel ready for your CRM, Slack alerts or bid pipeline.

Why this actor

• Official, ToS-safe source. It reads SAM.gov's public Contract Opportunities full data extract, which the government publishes for data.gov reuse. It doesn't scrape the website, bypass anything or need logins or keys.
• Reliable. Downloads retry with exponential backoff and the file is checked for completeness. Mixed-encoding text is decoded correctly, and duplicate notice IDs are removed (only the latest version is kept).
• Fast. It scans the entire active notice set in seconds and outputs results newest first.
• Clean schema. Field names are consistent, award amounts are numbers, deadlines are in ISO 8601, and set-asides are normalized into a list.

Who uses it

• Small businesses and GovCon BD teams looking for bids that match their NAICS and set-aside status (8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, HUBZone, Total Small Business).
• Consultants and proposal writers building daily lead lists.
• Market researchers tracking award winners, values and agencies.
• AI agents and MCP workflows that need structured federal procurement data.
