## 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

## Montgomery County MD Contracts - Vendor Leads & Buyers

Search **Montgomery County, Maryland government contracts** from the Office of Procurement's daily open-data file (about 2,400 contracts; 592k views). Montgomery County is one of the largest local governments in the DC region, so this list shows exactly who sells to it, what they sell and when each contract expires.

Each result includes:

- **vendor** name, contact person, **email**, **phone** and address, nonprofit flag
- contract number, solicitation number, type and **description**
- county **department** and division
- **buyer** and **contract administrator** with title, email and phone
- execution, **expiration** and final extension dates
- prevailing-wage and living-wage flags

Results are newest contract first. No API key, no CAPTCHA. Pricing: **$0.002 per contract + $0.0001 start**.

```json
{ "keywords": ["software"], "expiresAfter": "2026-10-24" }
```

```json
{ "departments": ["Transportation"], "maxResults": 100 }
```

### Use cases

Government sales: find incumbents and contracts nearing expiration to target re-bids, build B2G vendor lead lists with email and phone, reach the right county buyer, subcontracting and teaming partner research, competitive intelligence.

### Limits

Point-in-time public data from Montgomery County, MD. Contract values are not in this file. Some rows have data-entry quirks (for example a future execution date), which are excluded from the default browse.

## MCP server setup

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).
