SAM.gov Scraper — Federal Contract Opportunities & Bid Alerts

SAM.gov Scraper: Federal Contract Opportunities & Bid Alerts

Pricing: $0.005 per run start plus $0.005 per result

Win more federal contracts by seeing the right SAM.gov opportunities first. Built for small businesses, capture managers and BD teams: tell it your NAICS code, set-aside, agency or state, and get a clean list of matching federal opportunities, from sources-sought to award notices, straight from the official SAM.gov API.

Key features

• Filter by NAICS, set-aside (SBA, 8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone), notice type, state, agency/organization, title and keywords
• Covers solicitations, presolicitations, sources sought, combined synopses and award notices (with awardee name, amount and date)
• Remembers what it already returned (onlyNew, on by default, per stateKey), so a daily schedule gives you a daily bid alert
• Handles paging (1,000 per request) and SAM.gov daily limits; cap results with maxResults
• Official API, so website redesigns don't break it
• Point-of-contact names, emails and phones are intentionally left out; open the SAM.gov link to see them

Input example

You need a free SAM.gov Public API key (sam.gov → Account Details → request a Public API Key). It's stored as a secret input.

Use cases

• Small-business bid alerts: naicsCode + setAsideCode, scheduled daily, delivered to email or Slack
• Capture / BD pipeline: watch sources-sought and presolicitation notices before the RFP drops
• Competitor and award research: noticeTypes: ["a"] returns award notices with awardee and amount
• CRM / Google Sheets feeds via Apify integrations, Make or Zapier

How to schedule it

Create an Apify Schedule (e.g. daily at 07:00) with the same input and the same stateKey. Add an integration (email, Slack, webhook, Make, Zapier) to receive each run's new opportunities.

You can cap spend per run with maxResults (where available) or the run's Max total charge setting.

FAQ

Do I need an API key? Yes, a free SAM.gov Public API key. SAM.gov sets your daily request limit by account role; a run uses roughly one request per 1,000 results.

Why did I get 0 results? SAM.gov returns 404 "no data" both for empty searches and for invalid keys. If 0 results is unexpected, check your key first.

How far back can I search? Up to 1 year of posted dates (lookbackDays max 365).

Will a daily schedule send me duplicates? No. With onlyNew (default) and the same stateKey, each run returns only opportunities it hasn't returned before. Use a different stateKey per saved search.

Does it include contact people? No. Individual point-of-contact details are deliberately excluded; use the url to view them on SAM.gov.

Is this affiliated with SAM.gov / GSA? No. It uses the public SAM.gov API with your own key.
