🎯 What Does This Actor Do?

The US Federal Government is the world's largest buyer of goods and services, spending over $1 Trillion annually across defense, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, AI, and healthcare.

Unlike raw scraper dumps, this Actor provides B2G Opportunity Intelligence:

1. Automated Opportunity Scoring (0-100): Proprietary multi-factor scoring assessing award value size, defense/mission criticality, and high-growth NAICS categories.
2. Subcontracting Teaming Potential (FAR 19.7): Flags high-value contracts where prime vendors are federally mandated to partner with small and mid-tier subcontractors.
3. B2B Teaming & Action Recommendations: Provides targeted guidance (Tier-1 Teaming Target, Subcontracting Carve-out, Direct Outreach) for capture teams.
4. Direct Audit Verification Links: Every contract record links directly to official federal audit records on usaspending.gov.
5. AI Agent / Claude MCP Native: Callable directly by Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, and LangChain via Apify's Model Context Protocol.
