Government Contract Award Change Report

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.

{
  "feeds": [
    {
      "id": "eu-cloud-awards",
      "name": "EU cloud and IT awards",
      "source": "ted_awards",
      "keywords": "cloud,software,IT services",
      "cpvCodes": "72000000"
    }
  ],
  "lookbackDays": 7,
  "maxAwardsPerFeed": 10,
  "datasetMode": "new_only",
  "snapshotKey": "eu-cloud-awards-v1",
  "notifyOnNoNew": false,
  "emitRawRows": false,
  "generateReport": true,
  "emitExport": false,
  "maxChargeUsd": 5,
  "dryRun": false
}

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

Compliance

This is an unofficial research tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency. It uses public award records and does not access private notices or procurement accounts. Results describe as-published records and are not legal, procurement, investment, or bid/no-bid advice. Verify material decisions against the linked official source.

SAM.gov is optional and requires a user-supplied key. TED and USASpending support key-free runs. The Actor does not submit bids or messages.

See docs/source-compliance.md for source-specific limits.
