Government Tender & Grants Alert Report

GovCon business development teams use this actor to monitor public tender and grants opportunities from TED, Grants.gov, UK Contracts Finder, World Bank procurement notices, and optional SAM.gov. Provide watch terms such as keywords, CPV/NAICS codes, countries, sources, and deadline windows. Get source-linked tender alerts, grant alerts, deadline changes, buyer watch reports, and export rows.

Store Quickstart

Start with a free baseline run. It saves the current source state and writes zero dataset rows.

{
  "dryRun": false,
  "watches": [
    {
      "id": "cloud-modernization",
      "keywords": ["cloud", "cybersecurity"],
      "naicsCodes": ["541512"],
      "cpvCodes": ["72000000"],
      "deadlineWithinDays": 180
    }
  ],
  "sources": ["ted", "grants", "uk", "worldbank"],
  "monitorKey": "my-govcon-bid-watch",
  "initialRunMode": "baseline_only"
}

Run a paid trial after the baseline when you want current matches as alerts and reports. The $5 report and $7 export rows are opt-in and stay off unless you enable them:

{
  "dryRun": false,
  "watches": [
    {
      "id": "cyber-grants",
      "keywords": ["cybersecurity", "resilience"],
      "deadlineWithinDays": 120
    }
  ],
  "sources": ["grants", "ted", "uk", "worldbank"],
  "monitorKey": "trial-cyber-grants",
  "initialRunMode": "emit_backfill",
  "generateReport": true,
  "emitExport": true,
  "emitRawRows": false,
  "emitUnchanged": false,
  "maxChargeUsd": 15
}

Add SAM.gov only when you provide your own official API key:

{
  "dryRun": false,
  "watches": [
    {
      "id": "sam-cloud-services",
      "keywords": ["cloud services"],
      "naicsCodes": ["541512"],
      "deadlineWithinDays": 90
    }
  ],
  "sources": ["sam", "ted", "grants"],
  "samApiKey": "YOUR_SAM_API_KEY",
  "monitorKey": "sam-cloud-watch",
  "initialRunMode": "baseline_only"
}

Output Rows

The main paid rows are value rows, not bulk raw records.

{
  "rowType": "tender_opportunity_alert",
  "billingEventName": "tender-opportunity-alert",
  "watchId": "cloud-modernization",
  "changeType": "new_opportunity",
  "opportunity": {
    "source": "ted",
    "opportunityType": "tender",
    "title": "Cloud modernization services",
    "buyer": "Example Ministry",
    "deadline": "2026-08-15",
    "status": "published",
    "url": "https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/123456-2026"
  },
  "limitations": [
    "Rows summarize public tender and grants data for human review."
  ],
  "prohibitedInterpretations": [
    "Not procurement, legal, bid/no-bid, protest, or capture strategy advice."
  ]
}

Pricing And No-change Runs

• Raw opportunity row: low-cost optional raw row.
• Tender or grant opportunity alert: charged when a public source match is emitted.
• Deadline or status change alert: charged when a tracked opportunity changes.
• Buyer watch report ($5): opt-in via generateReport: true, off by default.
• Tender export generated ($7): opt-in via emitExport: true, off by default.

Recurring no-change runs with emitUnchanged=false write zero dataset rows and charge zero.

Compliance Guardrails

This actor is unofficial and not affiliated with TED, Grants.gov, SAM.gov, Contracts Finder, the World Bank, or any government or multilateral agency. It only uses public source data. Contact names, email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, and notice-body HTML are removed from normalized output. It does not provide procurement advice, legal advice, bid/no-bid recommendations, protest advice, award probability, guaranteed win claims, private notices, or agency endorsement.
