## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## US Contract Opportunities Feed — SAM.gov as Clean JSON

**Every active US federal contract opportunity, straight from SAM.gov, as structured JSON you can act on.** The US government posts tens of thousands of open solicitations, presolicitations and sources-sought notices. This Actor turns that firehose into a filtered feed: who is buying, what industry, when responses are due, and who to contact.

The data is public but the workflow is painful: SAM.gov search is slow, the export is clunky, and the notices bury the two things you actually triage on (deadline and set-aside). This feed puts them front and center.

### What you get per opportunity

```json
{
  "title": "Public Safety Data Analytics Platform & Support Services",
  "noticeType": "Solicitation",
  "agency": "GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION",
  "office": "FEDERAL ACQUISITION SERVICE",
  "naicsCodes": ["541511"],
  "pscCode": "DA01",
  "setAside": "Total Small Business Set-Aside",
  "publishDate": "2026-07-01T14:22:00+00:00",
  "responseDeadline": "2026-07-14T16:00:00+00:00",
  "daysUntilDeadline": 8,
  "placeOfPerformance": "Washington, DC, USA",
  "solicitationNumber": "47QTCA26R0011",
  "contactName": "Jane Smith",
  "contactEmail": "jane.smith@gsa.gov",
  "description": "The General Services Administration is seeking...",
  "url": "https://sam.gov/opp/abc123.../view"
}
````

Real volume: **45,000+ active opportunities** at any given time. Filter by keywords, NAICS codes, notice type, set-aside and deadline window to get exactly your slice.

### Why this beats checking SAM.gov by hand

- **`daysUntilDeadline` is computed for you**: sort by it, alert on it, skip anything you can't respond to in time.
- **Pre-award notices by default**: solicitations, presolicitations, combined synopsis and sources sought. Award notices only if you ask.
- **Set-aside filtering**: small business, 8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB and friends, as a simple substring match.
- **Clean text**: descriptions arrive with the HTML stripped, ready for a CRM, a spreadsheet or an LLM prompt.
- **Contracting officer contact included**: name and official email, because that is the response channel.

### Use cases

- **GovCon bizdev**: a daily run filtered by your NAICS codes and `dueWithinDays: 30`, feeding your pipeline.
- **Small business / set-aside hunting**: `setAsides: ["8(a)"]` plus your industry, and you see your addressable market.
- **Subcontracting radar**: watch what primes are bidding on in your niche.
- **AI agents**: "any new cybersecurity solicitations due this month?" becomes one tool call.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `keywords` | Search terms, e.g. `"cloud migration"` |
| `naicsCodes` | Industry codes: `["541511", "541512"]` |
| `noticeTypes` | `o` solicitation, `p` presolicitation, `k` combined, `r` sources sought (default: all four) |
| `dueWithinDays` | Only opportunities still open and due within N days |
| `setAsides` | Substring match: `["small business", "8(a)"]` |
| `maxOpportunities` | Cap per run (default 50) |
| `includeDescription` | Full clean-text description (default true) |

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

This Actor is exposed as a tool on the [Apify MCP Server](https://mcp.apify.com):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "samgov-opportunities-feed": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=jdepablos/samgov-opportunities-feed",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>" }
    }
  }
}
```

Pairs well with [Startup Funding Feed](https://apify.com/jdepablos/startup-funding-feed) and [Insider Trading Feed](https://apify.com/jdepablos/insider-trading-feed): same official-source discipline, different corner of the market.

### Pricing

Pay per event: **one flat fee per opportunity returned**. You pay for exactly the notices that match your filters, and a run that returns no data is never charged.

### FAQ

**Is this the official SAM.gov API?** It reads the same public data that powers SAM.gov search, without requiring you to register for an API key. Every record links back to its official notice page.

**Why is `setAside` sometimes null?** Most notices have no set-aside designation. The field is populated when the government declares one.

**Can I get award notices?** Yes, add `"a"` to `noticeTypes`. The default focuses on notices you can still respond to.

**Does it include attachments?** Not yet. The `url` field takes you to the official page where attachments live. If you need them structured, open an issue.
