SAM.gov Contract Opportunities Scraper: Federal RFPs, Bids & Contacts

Export federal contract opportunities from SAM.gov (solicitations, RFPs, RFQs, sources sought, presolicitations and award notices) as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. Filter by keyword, NAICS code, set-aside (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, small business), place-of-performance state and posting date. Each row includes the contracting officer's name, email and phone, the response deadline, NAICS/PSC codes and attachment links.

No SAM.gov API key, no login, no proxies. The actor reads the same public JSON endpoints that power the SAM.gov website, so runs are fast and cheap.

What can this SAM.gov scraper do?

• 🔎 Search all active federal opportunities by keyword, with optional exact-phrase and title-only matching
• 🏷️ Filter by NAICS codes, notice type, set-aside program and state, the same filters govcon BD teams use every day
• 📅 Relative date windows ("posted in the last 7 days", "deadline from today") for daily or weekly scheduled monitoring
• 👤 Contracting officer contacts: primary and secondary point of contact with name, email and E.164 phone
• ⏰ Response deadline + "days left" so you can prioritize bids that are still open
• 🏛️ Department, agency, office and office address
• 🏆 Award notices: awardee name, UEI, contract number, award amount and date (great for competitor intelligence)
• 📎 Attachment links (SOW, PWS, specifications, amendments) and the official SAM.gov URL
• 📝 Plain-text description (HTML stripped, optional length limit)
• 💰 Pay only for results, with a hard maxItems cap

How much does it cost to scrape SAM.gov?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay a small fee when a run starts and a fixed price per opportunity saved. There are no compute or proxy charges on top. The current prices are shown on the Pricing tab, at roughly $1.75 per 1,000 opportunities. A daily run that returns 50 new bids costs about 9 cents. Apify's free plan credits cover many runs per month.

Set maxItems (and optionally Max cost per run in the run options) to keep a hard cap on spend.

Tips

• Daily monitoring: schedule with postedFrom = "1 day" and responseDueFrom = "+0 days". You get only new, still-open bids.
• Small-business pipelines: combine setAsides (e.g. SDVOSBC, 8A, HZC) with your NAICS codes.
• Competitor tracking: set noticeTypes = ["a"] and activeOnly = false, then filter the Awards view by awardee.
• Broad discovery: turn off Keywords must appear in the title to search inside descriptions too.
