## 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

## Federal Contract Awards Scraper: who just won government contracts (daily, no API key)

Get a fresh list of **companies that just won federal government contracts**, straight from the official **Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS)**, the same award data behind SAM.gov contract award search and USAspending.gov. Every new contract, purchase order, delivery order and BPA call that a federal agency signs is reported here, usually within 3 business days.

For each award you get the **winning company, award amount, award date, awarding agency and contracting office, NAICS and PSC codes, set-aside type (SDVOSB, 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, small business), extent competed, number of offers, the winner's UEI and CAGE code, business address, business phone and small-business / veteran / woman-owned flags**.

About **2,500 new awards are signed each business day** (40,000+ a month). Filter by the winner's state, NAICS code, set-aside, agency, award size and keywords to get exactly the contract winners you care about.

**Free to try:** Apify's free plan ($5/month in credit, no card needed) covers about **5,000 awards** a month.
**Price:** $0.90 per 1,000 results. You only pay for awards saved.

No browser, no proxies, no login, no SAM.gov account, no API key.

### What's in the federal contract awards list?

- Winning company name, UEI, CAGE code, parent company
- Award ID (PIID), award type (definitive contract, purchase order, delivery order, BPA call; optional new IDIQ/BPA/GWAC vehicles), parent IDV
- Award amount (obligated), base and all options value, award date, period of performance
- Awarding department, sub-agency and contracting office, funding agency
- NAICS code and industry, PSC code and description, description of the requirement
- Set-aside type, extent competed, number of offers received, solicitation ID, pricing type
- Winner's business address, city, state, ZIP and business phone as registered for federal contracting
- Small business, veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, woman-owned, 8(a), HUBZone flags
- Place of performance (city, state, ZIP) and a link to the award on USAspending.gov

**Source:** Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS, run by GSA) public ATOM feed. If that feed is ever unavailable, the Actor automatically switches to the USAspending.gov API (US Treasury).

#### Sample rows (real output, a few columns)

| `recipientName` | `awardingAgency` | `naicsCode` | `awardAmount` | `setAside` | `recipientCity` | `recipientState` | `awardDate` |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CLC SERVICES INC | Department of Veterans Affairs | 562211 | 140,000 | Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business Set-Aside | Pleasanton | TX | 2026-11-03 |

| NORTH STAR IMPORTS, LLC | Department of Justice | 424430 | 36,684 | Small Business Set Aside - Total | Saint Paul | MN | 2026-11-02 |

### Who uses this

- **Subcontractors and suppliers** finding primes that just won work in their trade and state (construction, janitorial, IT, staffing, equipment).
- **Government contractors** doing competitive intelligence: who is winning in your NAICS codes, at what price, with how many bidders.
- **B2B sales teams, lenders and factoring companies** reaching small businesses right after a contract win (they need bonding, financing, payroll, insurance, equipment and hires).
- **Business development consultants, APEX/PTAC advisors and analysts** tracking set-aside awards (SDVOSB, 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB).
- **Journalists and researchers** following federal spending by agency and state.

Pair it with [federal-opportunities](https://apify.com/loomwise/federal-opportunities) to see open SAM.gov solicitations *before* award, then use this Actor to see who won.

### Input

| Field | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `withinDays` | Awards signed in the last N days | 7 |
| `dateFrom` / `dateTo` | Exact award-date window | none |
| `recipientStates` | Winner's state, e.g. `TX`, `VA`, `CA` | all |
| `placeOfPerformanceStates` | Where the work is done | all |
| `naicsCodes` | NAICS codes or prefixes, e.g. `23`, `541512`, `561720` | all |
| `pscCodes` | Product/service code prefixes, e.g. `Z1`, `R4`, `D3` | all |
| `setAsideTypes` | `SBA`, `8A`, `HZC`, `SDVOSBC`, `WOSB`, `EDWOSB`, `VSA`, `NONE`... | all |
| `agencies` | Department name contains, e.g. `Veterans Affairs`, `Defense`, `Homeland Security` | all |
| `keywords` | Words in the award description, e.g. `roofing`, `janitorial`, `cybersecurity` | none |
| `minAmount` / `maxAmount` | Award size in USD | none |
| `includeIdvs` | Also return newly awarded IDIQs, BPAs, GWACs and FSS vehicles | false |
| `excludeIndividuals` | Leave out awards to private individuals | true |
| `maxResults` | Cap (you pay per result) | 500 |

Example: construction contracts won by Texas companies this week:

```json
{ "recipientStates": ["TX"], "naicsCodes": ["23"], "withinDays": 7 }
```

Example: every service-disabled veteran-owned set-aside award over $100,000 in the last 30 days:

```json
{ "setAsideTypes": ["SDVOSBC"], "minAmount": 100000, "withinDays": 30, "maxResults": 5000 }
```

Example: IT services awards (NAICS 5415) in Virginia, Maryland and DC, including new IDIQ vehicles:

```json
{ "recipientStates": ["VA", "MD", "DC"], "naicsCodes": ["5415"], "includeIdvs": true, "withinDays": 14 }
```

### Privacy by design

- **Companies only.** Awards to private individuals (sole proprietors under a personal name) and redacted recipients are skipped by default.
- **No government staff names or emails.** FPDS records the contracting officer who entered each award; that is never output.
- The phone and address are the winner's **business** contact details as registered for federal contracting. Apartment-style addresses are withheld.

### Tips

- Agencies report most awards within 3 business days, and some (often DoD) later. For a daily feed, schedule a run with `withinDays: 5` and dedupe on `generatedAwardId`.
- Filters on state, NAICS, set-aside and amount are applied at the source and are fast. Agency, keyword and PSC filters are applied as records stream in, so combine them with a state or NAICS filter on long date ranges.
- Award amount is what was obligated at signing; `baseAndAllOptionsValue` shows the full potential value with options.
- `RUN_SUMMARY` in the key-value store shows how many awards were scanned per day and which source was used.

### Common questions about federal contract awards data

**How do I get a list of companies that won government contracts without coding?** Press **Try for free**, set the winner's state, NAICS code or set-aside (or keep the defaults), press **Start**, then open the **Storage** tab and export the results as Excel, CSV or JSON. A one-week run for one state takes under a minute.

**Is this the same data as SAM.gov contract award search?** Yes. SAM.gov contract awards, FPDS and USAspending.gov all show the same official federal procurement records. This Actor gives them to you as a spreadsheet without a SAM.gov login.

**How much does it cost?** Free to try: Apify's free plan ($5/month credit, no credit card) covers about 5,000 awards a month. After that it is $0.90 per 1,000 results (pay per result), plus a fraction of a cent per run.

**Can I get new contract awards automatically every day?** Yes. Save your filters as a task and add a **Schedule** (daily or weekly). Connect Google Sheets, Slack, email, Zapier, Make or n8n under **Integrations** to receive each new batch.

**Can I call it from code or an AI agent?** Yes. Use the Apify API or the Python/JavaScript clients, or connect it to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor through the Apify MCP server.

# Actor input Schema

## `withinDays` (type: `integer`):

Optional exact start date (award date).

## `dateTo` (type: `string`):

Optional exact end date. Default today.

## `recipientStates` (type: `array`):

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Adds set-aside, extent competed, number of offers, solicitation ID, pricing type and the winner's small-business / veteran / woman-owned / 8(a) designations. One extra API call per award (slower).

## `excludeIndividuals` (type: `boolean`):

Skip awards whose winner looks like a private person (sole proprietor under a personal name) and redacted recipients. Companies only.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many awards. You are only charged for results saved. Within each day, the largest awards come first.
