All-in-One Government Tenders & Procurement Scraper

Scrapes public procurement opportunities from SAM.gov (US federal contract opportunities) and TED — Tenders Electronic Daily (EU public procurement) and returns them in one unified schema.

Search by keyword, by industry code (NAICS for the US, CPV for the EU), or just paste portal URLs — each one is routed to the right portal automatically. Every row comes back with the same 46 fields, whichever side of the Atlantic it came from.

Public data only. No account, no login and no API key required on either portal.

Why one Actor instead of two

The two portals have almost nothing in common mechanically: different ID formats, different industry taxonomies, different date encodings, different ways of expressing what a contract is worth — and TED publishes every title and description in up to 24 languages at once.

They have exactly one thing in common: a public body saying what it intends to buy.

If you sell to governments, you want one table of live tenders. Which jurisdiction an opportunity happens to sit in is not something you chose, and reconciling two ID schemes, two date formats and two industry taxonomies is the genuinely hard part of the job. This Actor does that once, rather than handing you the same problem twice.

Why use this actor

• No account, no login, no API key on either portal
• Full statements of work as clean Markdown — ready to drop straight into an LLM prompt for bid/no-bid triage, requirement extraction or summarisation
• Named procurement officers with real email addresses — the contracting officer and their alternate, not a generic inbox
• Every deadline as a true ISO 8601 UTC timestamp, so US and EU tenders sort correctly against each other in one list
• One identical schema across both portals — no per-source branching in your pipeline
• Attachment listings, set-aside status, place of performance, estimated values and award winners
• Stable JSON output for pipelines, databases and spreadsheets; automatic retries; export to JSON/CSV/Excel

How it works

1. You give it keywords, industry codes, or URLs pasted from either portal.
2. Each input is routed to the portal that can actually answer it — a NAICS code goes to SAM.gov, a CPV code goes to TED, keywords go to both.
3. It pages through every matching notice, then fetches each one in full to pull the complete statement of work, the contacts and the exact dates.
4. Every notice is folded into one schema, with descriptions converted to clean Markdown and all dates standardised to UTC.

No scrapers, browsers or blocks to babysit.

What you can search

Input	Goes to	Example
keywords	Both	["software development", "cyber security"]
naicsCodes	SAM.gov	["541511"] (Custom Computer Programming)
cpvCodes	TED	["72000000"] (IT services)
industryCodes	Split automatically	["541511", "72000000"]
noticeTypes	Both, translated	["solicitation", "award"]
setAsides	SAM.gov	["SBA", "8A", "SDVOSBC"]
pscCodes	SAM.gov	["7G21", "D302"]
buyerCountries	TED	["DEU", "FRA", "POL"]
placeOfPerformanceStates	SAM.gov	["VA", "CA"]
startUrls	Routed by the URL	a search URL, a notice URL, or a bare ID

Mixed industry codes just work. Put 541511 and 72000000 in one industryCodes list and the NAICS code is sent to SAM.gov while the CPV code goes to TED — neither is sent to the portal that cannot read it.

Supported URL and ID forms

Portal	Search URL	Single notice
SAM.gov	https://sam.gov/search/?index=opp&naics=541511	https://sam.gov/opp/<32-char-id>/view
TED	https://ted.europa.eu/en/search/result?...	https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/547033-2026/html

Bare IDs work too: a 32-character SAM.gov notice ID, or a TED publication number like 547033-2026. So does the shorthand sam:<id> / ted:<id>.

Search summary

One per query, so you always know whether you got everything:

{
  "recordType": "SEARCH_SUMMARY",
  "source": "SAM.gov",
  "queryLabel": "SAM.gov[keywords=cyber security]",
  "totalMatchingUpstream": 2237,
  "returnedCount": 3,
  "pagesFetched": 1,
  "requestsMade": 4,
  "filtersApplied": { "keywords": ["cyber security"], "activeOnly": true, "deadlineWithinDays": 45 },
  "descriptionsFetched": true,
  "attachmentsFetched": false,
  "resultWindowCapped": false,
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 3,
  "completeness": "capped-by-maxItemsPerQuery",
  "notes": []
}

completeness is one of complete, partial, capped-by-maxItemsPerQuery or capped-by-upstream-window, and filtersApplied shows exactly which filters actually took effect — so a small result set is never ambiguous.

Notes & limits

• Leave includeDescription on. SAM.gov's result rows carry only the first 250 characters of the statement of work. Turning it off makes runs faster and cheaper, but the descriptions are clipped — and the Actor tells you so, via descriptionTruncated on the row and a note on the summary.
• SAM.gov returns at most 10,000 notices per query. That is the portal's own limit, not the Actor's. When a query matches more, the run stops cleanly at 10,000 and sets resultWindowCapped: true with the real total in totalMatchingUpstream. Split the query — by industry code, notice type or date window — to reach the rest. TED has no such limit.
• A search that names only EU codes will not search SAM.gov (and vice versa), because the portal cannot filter on the other side's taxonomy and would otherwise return its entire notice corpus narrowed only by date. You get an explicit ERROR row explaining what to add, instead of thousands of irrelevant rows.
• Estimated values are frequently absent on US notices. SAM.gov publishes a value only on award notices; open solicitations have no such field. This is the portal's behaviour, not a gap in extraction.
• TED notices may not be in English. Titles and descriptions are resolved to your preferred language, then English, then whatever the notice actually has — a national-only notice keeps its original language rather than coming back blank. The language field always tells you which you got.
• Date-only fields keep their calendar date rather than being shifted by a timezone, so a notice TED published on 22 July reports 22 July.
• Residential proxy is recommended for scheduled runs.
