Federal Grants & Contracts Finder (Grants.gov + SAM.gov)

Find open US federal grants (Grants.gov, no key needed) and contract opportunities (SAM.gov, bring your own free API key) in one run, as clean JSON, CSV or Excel.

Official public APIs only. No scraping, no logins, no browser.

What you get

• Grants.gov: title, opportunity number, agency, status (posted/forecasted), posted and close dates, CFDA/Assistance Listing numbers, link. Turn on Fetch grant details to add the plain-text description, award ceiling and floor, estimated total funding, expected number of awards, cost sharing, eligible applicant types, and agency contact email.
• SAM.gov: notice ID, solicitation number, title, agency path, notice type, posted date, response deadline, NAICS, PSC code, set-aside, place-of-performance state, award info (when present), contracting officer contacts, and a sam.gov link.

Filters

Keyword, Grants.gov agency / eligibility / funding category codes, grant status, SAM.gov posted-within-N-days, NAICS, set-aside (SBA, 8A, WOSB, SDVOSBC, HZC...), notice type and state.

Who it's for

Grant writers, nonprofits, schools and universities, small businesses chasing federal contracts, BD/capture teams, and AI agents (works over Apify MCP). Schedule it daily to get a feed of new opportunities.

SAM.gov API key

SAM.gov requires a free personal API key: sign in at sam.gov, open Account Details, and request a Public API Key. Paste it into the SAM.gov API key field (stored as a secret input). Without a key the Actor still returns Grants.gov results and skips SAM.gov. SAM.gov rate-limits free keys, so keep runs modest.

Pricing

Pay per opportunity returned. You are not charged for sources that fail or return nothing.

Notes

Data comes straight from Grants.gov and SAM.gov and is only as current as those systems. Always confirm deadlines and requirements on the official listing before applying or bidding.
