SAM.gov Contract Opportunities: US Federal Tenders (Official)

Get US federal contract opportunities as clean JSON, from the official public data file published by SAM.gov. No API key, no login and no website scraping.

Each run reads SAM.gov's public Contract Opportunities file once, so there are no daily API quotas to manage. It covers about 70,000 active notices: solicitations, sources sought, presolicitations, special notices and award notices, across all federal agencies.

Use it to feed bid alerts, GovCon lead lists, CRM pipelines, market research or AI agents that need to answer "which federal agencies are buying X right now?".

A run reads the whole file whatever your filters are, because the file is not sorted by date. A default run takes a few seconds. Schedule it daily with publishedWithinDays: 1 to get each day's new notices.

Limitations

• Updated once a day. SAM.gov refreshes the file once a day, so this is not a real-time feed. Notices posted today usually appear tomorrow.
• Place of performance is often blank. About two thirds of recent notices give no state for it. The states filter uses the state of the buying office for those notices, so a notice can match on where the office is rather than where the work happens. Check placeOfPerformance and buyerState.
• Active notices only. The file holds notices SAM.gov has not archived. It is not a full history.
• No attachments. Solicitation documents are on the notice page behind url.
• Awards before April 4, 2022 are left out. SAM.gov's terms limit commercial use of the D&B data those records can contain.
• Always check the original notice before you bid. Not affiliated with SAM.gov, GSA or the US Government.

Personal data

The source file has columns for contracting officer names, emails and phone numbers. This Actor never outputs them. Emails and phone numbers written inside description text are replaced with [email removed] and [phone removed]. Names written inside description text can't be detected reliably and may remain.

Awardees can be sole proprietors, so awardee keeps only names that carry a company word such as LLC or Inc., and never the address. A company name can still contain a person's name.

Data source and attribution

Data comes from the public Contract Opportunities data file on SAM.gov Data Services, the route SAM.gov's terms of use name for automated data access. The Actor downloads that one file once per run and does not crawl the website.

SAM.gov is operated by the U.S. General Services Administration. Each item carries an attribution field, so you can keep the credit when you pass the data on.
