SAM.gov Contract Opportunities - Federal GovCon Leads

SAM.gov Contract Opportunities Scraper - GovCon Leads

Search official SAM.gov procurement notices and export structured GovCon lead evidence. Filter by full-text keyword, place-of-performance state, NAICS code, notice type, small-business set-aside, active status, and posted date.

The actor uses SAM.gov's public website search and notice-detail endpoints without browser automation. A customer-supplied SAM.gov API key can use the official API path for broader requests.

Fast first run

The default input returns up to five currently active roofing-related notices:

{
  "keyword": "roofing",
  "activeOnly": true,
  "maxResults": 5
}

At live pay-per-event pricing, that first run costs at most about $0.0101: a $0.0001 minimum start event plus $0.002 per dataset item.

Output

Each found item contains stable fields including:

• evidenceStatus, message
• noticeId, opportunityTitle, solicitationNumber
• postedDate, responseDeadline, noticeType, active
• naicsCode, classificationCode, setAsideCode
• awardAmount, awardeeName
• contactName, contactEmail, contactPhone
• performanceState, performanceCity, departmentName
• samGovLink, sourceUrl, sourceRetrievedAt
• searchSummary, coverageNote, interpretationLimit

When nothing matches, the actor returns one explicit NO_MATCHING_SAM_GOV_NOTICE item rather than an unexplained empty dataset.

Example found record

{
  "evidenceStatus": "FOUND_SAM_GOV_NOTICE",
  "noticeId": "example-notice-id",
  "opportunityTitle": "Roof Replacement",
  "noticeType": "Solicitation",
  "active": true,
  "naicsCode": "238160",
  "setAsideCode": "SBA",
  "responseDeadline": "2026-08-24",
  "performanceState": "TX",
  "contactEmail": "buyer@example.gov",
  "samGovLink": "https://sam.gov/opp/example-notice-id/view",
  "sourceDataset": "SAM.gov Contract Opportunities"
}

Values above are illustrative. Live records come from the linked SAM.gov notice.

Input

Parameter	Type	Description
keyword	string	Full-text SAM.gov search term. Matching text can appear outside the title.
state	string	Exact two-letter place-of-performance state code.
naicsCode	string	Exact NAICS code reported in notice details.
procurementType	string	Notice code such as p, o, k, r, s, or a.
setAside	string	Exact SAM.gov set-aside code, such as SBA, 8A, HZC, SDVOSBC, or WOSB.
activeOnly	boolean	Keep only notices SAM.gov currently marks active. Default: true.
postedFrom	string	Earliest posted date, MM/dd/yyyy. Default no-key window: 90 days.
postedTo	string	Latest posted date, MM/dd/yyyy.
maxResults	integer	Maximum paid dataset items. Default: 5; maximum: 500.
apiKey	string	Optional customer-supplied SAM.gov API key for the official API path.

The no-key path inspects at most 1,000 search candidates and applies active, notice-type, NAICS, set-aside, and place-of-performance filters against source fields before emitting results. A narrow filter can therefore return fewer than maxResults even when broader SAM.gov records exist.

Pricing

Live pricing is:

• $0.0001 per start event per GB, minimum one event
• $0.002 per dataset item

The actor honors buyer-set maximum total-charge limits before requesting results. Examples, excluding any buyer-selected extra memory:

Dataset items	Maximum charge
5	$0.0101
25	$0.0501
100	$0.2001
500	$1.0001

Evidence limits

SAM.gov notices are point-in-time agency-published procurement evidence. They are not proof that:

• an opportunity remains open or unchanged;
• a deadline has not moved;
• a vendor is eligible for a set-aside or award;
• an award is final, fully performed, or free from later modification;
• a contact remains current;
• any bid will succeed.

SAM.gov records can be amended, archived, cancelled, delayed, duplicated, or incomplete. Search matching is source-defined, and fields can be omitted. Always review the linked notice, amendments, deadlines, eligibility rules, and registration requirements before acting.

Automation

Run the actor on an Apify schedule, send the dataset to a webhook, or export JSON, CSV, and Excel. For recurring lead workflows, persist noticeId and compare it across runs so downstream systems can distinguish newly observed notices from updates to existing ones.

Example input

{
  "keyword": "construction",
  "postedFrom": "01/01/2026",
  "maxResults": 25,
  "activeOnly": true
}

Do I need an API key or login?

Can I run it on a schedule or from code?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules for recurring runs, or call it from the Apify API, the JavaScript or Python client, Make, Zapier, n8n, or any MCP-compatible AI agent.

Why did my run return no results?

Your filters are probably too narrow. Remove a filter or broaden the search, then run again. You only pay the result price for records that are actually saved.

Is the data accurate and up to date?

Each run fetches live data from the source described above, so results are as current as that source. Verify critical records with the original source before acting on them.
