Government Contract Award Change Report

What you get: for each award feed (TED EU awards or USASpending), a new-award alert row (USD 0.12) and, with emitRawRows: true, one row per new award (USD 0.004) with title, buyer, awardee, country, CPV codes, value and the official notice link. Optional supplier-share report (USD 4) and export (USD 3).

Sample output from a real run (2026-10-18, the JSON below: TED, IT/software awards, 1 award → 2 rows, USD 0.124):

rowType	award / summary	buyer	awardee	country	link
govcon_award	Software supply services – Prodloužení licence GlobalCare Complete (TED title, published in all EU languages; CPV 72268000, 48000000, 48620000, 72263000)	Dopravní podnik hl. m. Prahy, akciová společnost	INGOS s.r.o.	CZE	https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/700382-2026
govcon_spend_change_alert	1 new award(s) found. Review for notable winners and pipeline context.	–	top awardee: INGOS s.r.o.	–	same notice

Note: the Console defaults keep generateReport: true with maxChargeUsd: 5: the $4 supplier-share report plus room for the award rows and spend alerts a default run normally adds (a 2026-10-23 default-input test charged $4.12). Raise the cap when you watch more agencies or expect many changes. The JSON below turns the report off and sets maxChargeUsd: 0.2.

Open Input Paid first-run JSON ≈ USD 0.124 (1 TED award row USD 0.004 + 1 new-award alert USD 0.12). Keep reports, exports, and movement options bounded for the first run. Open Console Input (deep link above) and run this JSON.

Paste feed and Start.

Government contractors and market-research teams provide award watch filters for official TED or USASpending data. The Actor returns source-linked new-award alerts, supplier-share reports, and optional exports. Unchanged recurring runs write zero dataset rows and incur zero event charge.

Store Quickstart

This first run watches a bounded TED award feed and caps total event charges at $5.

Use a stable snapshotKey for scheduled runs. The first matching run establishes the watch state; later runs emit only new or changed evidence.

  "stableKey": "report:eu-cloud-awards-v1:4d962b5a7c2a",
  "billingEventName": "govcon-supplier-share-report",

Important fields:

• rowType: delivered product type.
• billingEventName: configured PPE event charged for the row.
• stableKey: deterministic delivery and deduplication key.
• newAwards: new source records since the stored watch state.
• sourceEvidence: official source URLs supporting the report.

Pricing

• govcon-award-row: $0.004 per optional raw award row.
• govcon-spend-change-alert: $0.12 per new-award or supplier-watch alert.
• govcon-supplier-share-report: $4 per generated portfolio report.
• govcon-award-export: $3 per generated export.
• Unchanged runs: 0 rows and 0 event charge.

If the rows of a run would cost more than maxChargeUsd, those rows are skipped instead of failing the run (a 2026-10-18 test with the old maxChargeUsd: 0.03 default delivered 0 rows), and the snapshot is not saved, so the same awards are offered again on the next run.
