SAM.gov Contract Opportunities with Past Award Winners

Search open US federal contract notices from SAM.gov by keyword, NAICS code, set-aside, state or agency. Each notice comes with its market history from USAspending.gov: how many contracts the same agency awarded under the same NAICS code over about three fiscal years, and the five companies that won the most. Federal data has no "incumbent" field, so these past winners are the closest public signal of who holds similar work today.

Type a keyword or a NAICS code and press Start. You get one row per open notice, newest first.

This is an unofficial tool, not affiliated with SAM.gov, GSA, the Treasury or any agency. Always read the full notice on SAM.gov before you bid. Notices change and get amended.

What people use it for

• Small businesses and government contractors: a daily list of open bids in your NAICS codes and states.
• Capture and business development teams: see who already wins this kind of work at this agency before you decide to bid.
• Consultants and bid services: fresh, filtered notices for clients, ready for a spreadsheet or a CRM.

The figures in the example are illustrative. Real values come from the data.

• marketHistory covers the whole agency (for example the Forest Service or the Department of the Army) and the notice's NAICS code, not the single office. Large agencies buy a lot, so the top recipients there are often big companies. It is context for your bid decision, not a list of who will compete.
• contractAwards counts contract award records in USAspending for that agency and code since the start of the period, including small orders and modifications. obligatedUsd is what each company was obligated in that window.
• marketHistory is null when a notice has no NAICS code or its agency could not be matched in USAspending (under 1% of notices today).
• Contracting officer names, emails and phone numbers are not included. Emails and phone numbers are removed from titles and descriptions too. Open samUrl to see who to contact.

Where the data comes from

• Notices: the SAM.gov Contract Opportunities public data extract, which SAM.gov rebuilds once a day. We load it into our index each morning (UTC). The index holds every active notice with a future deadline plus anything posted in the last 90 days, about 39,000 notices.
• Market history: the USAspending.gov API, refreshed once a week for each agency and NAICS pair.
• This Actor reads our index only. It never scrapes the SAM.gov website.
