## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## US Federal Contractor Agency Concentration Brief

Compare USAspending-reported federal contract transaction obligations across two fiscal years for one or two exact contractor UEIs. See the five largest awarding agencies and their share where the numbers permit a meaningful concentration ratio. A business-development or vendor-risk analyst can ask: Which agencies dominate this recipient’s federal contracts, and how did that exposure change?

### Input and scope

Supply `recipientPairs` with one or two objects, each containing an exact 12-character `uei` and `recipientScope`. Choose `entity` for the USAspending C-level recipient or `parent_group` for its P-level aggregate. These scopes are not interchangeable. The Actor verifies that the returned UEI exactly matches and that the requested level exists; it never silently substitutes another entity or a text-search match. The optional `fiscalYear` defaults to 2025, must be completed, and is compared with the preceding federal fiscal year. FY2026 is preliminary because source reporting can lag after its 2026-09-30 close.

### Output

One row per validated UEI/scope pair: the official recipient identity, current and prior reported contract obligations, signed change, and up to five selected-year awarding agencies. Amounts are summed across the complete category response, not just the five displayed agencies. If the prior total is zero, the percentage rate is undefined and `obligationChangePercent` is omitted from the JSON row. If any agency has a negative amount or the selected-year total is nonpositive, agency shares are null and `shareNote` explains why. Both years with empty agency lists produce a `noReportedContractObligations` row. A numeric zero with agency rows may reflect offsets and is not labeled as no awards. These figures are reported federal contract transaction obligations for award types A–D; they are not revenue, cash payments, government budgets, or the contractor’s total customer exposure. The source may revise prior periods.

### Limits

The Actor reads only official USAspending API endpoints: one exact UEI lookup and two date-window aggregate queries per pair. It rejects pagination, malformed identity, source blocks, rate limits, and incomplete responses before delivery or charge. At most seven requests including robots, 10 MiB per source response, 256 MB memory, no browser, proxy, or paid key. Source feasibility, robots, and access language are recorded in the dated scout.

### Privacy

Output contains an exact business UEI and official recipient name, level and ID plus agency aggregates. It excludes officer/contact names, personal addresses, award descriptions, and raw source payloads.

### Price

One primary `contractor-agency-concentration-created` event at $0.02 per delivered comparison row. No start or invalid-input charge. At most two rows cost $0.04.

# Actor input Schema

## `recipientPairs` (type: `array`):

One or two exact 12-character UEIs, each with entity or parent\_group scope. Parent-group obligations include the group; entity scope means the matched C-level recipient. A missing requested level fails without charge.

## `fiscalYear` (type: `integer`):

Completed US federal fiscal year compared with its predecessor. FY2026 is preliminary after 2026-09-30.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "recipientPairs": [
    {
      "uei": "ZFN2JJXBLZT3",
      "recipientScope": "parent_group"
    },
    {
      "uei": "WZWRLY4G3PL8",
      "recipientScope": "entity"
    }
  ],
  "fiscalYear": 2025
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "recipientPairs": [
        {
            "uei": "ZFN2JJXBLZT3",
            "recipientScope": "parent_group"
        },
        {
            "uei": "WZWRLY4G3PL8",
            "recipientScope": "entity"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("jpmarketdata/us-federal-contractor-agency-concentration").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "recipientPairs": [
        {
            "uei": "ZFN2JJXBLZT3",
            "recipientScope": "parent_group",

            "recipientScope": "entity",
        },
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("jpmarketdata/us-federal-contractor-agency-concentration").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,jpmarketdata/us-federal-contractor-agency-concentration"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
