## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Track high-value US Federal and State Government contract awards, solicitations, procurement trends, and Prime Contractor subcontracting intelligence in real time.

***

### 🎯 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.

This Actor continuously queries official federal procurement and award databases (USAspending & federal contracting feeds) to provide institutional-grade sales leads and market intelligence:

1. **High-Value Contract Awards**: Discover multi-million dollar contracts awarded to top vendors (Lockheed, Raytheon, Booz Allen, Accenture, AWS, Palantir, etc.).
2. **Small Business Subcontracting Teaming Opportunities**: Under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR 19.7), large prime contractors are required to submit small business subcontracting plans. This actor flags large awards where prime vendors actively seek boutique software, staffing, and engineering subcontractors.
3. **Agency Spending Insights**: Filter by awarding agency (Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, HHS, NASA, Energy, etc.).
4. **Direct Audit Verification Links**: Every single contract record includes a direct URL to official federal audit records on `usaspending.gov`.

***

### 💰 Monetization & Pricing

- **Pricing Model**: `Pay-Per-Event` (Pay only for what you extract)
- **Cost per Record**: **`$0.0150 USD`** per verified government contract record
- **Sample Cost**: 100 high-value federal contract leads = **`$1.50 USD`**

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call robinworld/us-government-rfp-contract-tracker --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,robinworld/us-government-rfp-contract-tracker"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
