Looking for: Mississippi government bids API · Mississippi procurement / RFP data · state government contract opportunities · solicitation tracking · bid deadline alerts · public sector tender data. This Actor delivers all of it as clean JSON.

The problem this solves

The official Mississippi (DFA) bid portal shows you today's open solicitations — but it doesn't tell you when a deadline moves, when a bid is awarded, or when an addendum drops on a contract you're watching. If you sell to government, missing a deadline change or a recompete is lost revenue. This feed tracks every solicitation over time and exposes those change events directly.

What you can do

• Search Mississippi government bids by category, keyword, status, and dates.
• Get a full solicitation by ID, including document links and the official notice URL.
• Track what changed — deadline changes, new awards (Open → Awarded), added documents — grouped per solicitation. This is the differentiator; free portals don't surface it.

MCP tools (for AI agents / Claude / agent builders)

This Actor exposes Model Context Protocol tools, so an agent can query procurement data directly:

• search_opportunities(category, keyword, status, posted_after, due_after, due_before)
• get_opportunity(solicitation_id)
• list_recent_changes(since) — the change feed

Data schema (per solicitation)

solicitation_id, title, agency (buying organisation), category, bid_type, posted_date / due_date (ISO-8601 with explicit Central timezone + closing time), status (Open / Closed / Awarded / Archived), document_links, source / source_url. estimated_value is not published by this source (returned null, never a filterable field).

No personal data. Buyer contact names/emails/phones in the source are stripped at ingestion and re-checked at storage; only solicitation data and the buying organisation name are served.

Coverage & freshness

Official Mississippi DFA Contract Bid Search (ms.gov) — all state agencies, universities and participating local entities. Refreshed daily; each record carries first_seen / last_seen. Single-state by design (a focused, reliable feed).

Access

Free during early access (beta). Usage limits or pricing may be introduced later, with notice. (Not "free forever," just free for now.)

Reliability

A built-in monitor watches for upstream breakage (renamed fields, response-shape changes, record-count crashes, new status values, or PII drifting toward the output). If something looks wrong, it stops serving and returns "temporarily unavailable" rather than hand you stale or wrong data.
