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 capped value run that emits matched alerts plus a buyer watch report and export. Use the baseline-only example later when you need to seed recurring state without output rows.

{
  "dryRun": false,
  "watches": [
    {
      "id": "cloud-modernization",
      "keywords": ["cloud", "cybersecurity"],
      "naicsCodes": ["541512"],
      "cpvCodes": ["72000000"],
      "deadlineWithinDays": 180
    }
  ],
  "sources": ["ted", "grants", "uk", "worldbank"],
  "monitorKey": "trial-govcon-bid-watch",
  "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": [
    "No bid-selection, legal, protest, or capture-strategy guidance."
  ]
}

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. Personal fields, phone numbers, postal addresses, and notice-body HTML are removed from normalized output. It does not make bid-selection, legal, protest, award-probability, or guaranteed-outcome claims, and it does not represent any agency.
