Capabilities

Tools 6

get_data_status

Report source file names and dates, load times, row counts and coverage limitations for public opportunities, entity registrations and exclusions. Includes opportunity counts by type and last-load changes. Use it to judge how current results are.

Discovered
get_opportunity

Get one SAM.gov notice in full: description, response deadline, set-aside, NAICS and PSC codes, place of performance, contracting office, points of contact, award details for award notices, and the public sam.gov link. Also lists other active notices with the same solicitation number, such as earlier versions, amendments, or awards (with awardee and amount). Pass the 32-character notice ID from search results, or a solicitation number (returns its most recently posted current notice, preferring the solicitation over award notices and justifications). Attachments are not retrieved; open the sam.gov link for them.

Discovered
search_entities

Answer SAM registration and socioeconomic questions: women-owned/WOSB/EDWOSB, veteran-owned/SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), and small business. Search the monthly public extract by UEI, CAGE, name, NAICS and state; filters combine. any_naics includes secondary codes. Search defaults Active; UEI/CAGE includes inactive. Use the labeled business or SBA code filters below. For NAICS-specific small-business status, request assertions or All and check sbaSmallBusiness; 2X means for-profit, not small. Codes and active registration do not prove current SBA certification; check certificationExitDate and confirm SBA/SAM.gov status. Public-display opt-outs are excluded. Up to 10 records/page.

Discovered
search_exclusions

Check SAM.gov public exclusion/debarment records by UEI, CAGE, or name. Filters combine. Searches the dated public extract, which is not a complete exclusion history; inactive or terminated historical records may be absent. Every result identifies the source file and date. No matches in the extract is not a live clearance or eligibility determination; confirm current status on SAM.gov.

Discovered
search_opportunities

Search active SAM.gov contract opportunity notices: solicitations, combined synopses, presolicitations, sources sought, special notices, award notices, and justifications. All filters combine. Keyword search covers titles and full descriptions. By default, only the latest version of each amended notice is included. Notices whose response deadline has passed are left out, except award notices and justifications; notices with no deadline are also included. Set include_past_deadlines to true to include other past-deadline notices. Results are sorted by soonest deadline, with notices that have no deadline last. Returns up to 100 notices per call with the total match count; use offset to page. Use get_opportunity for a notice's full description and contacts. Data is SAM.gov's public daily file of active notices, not live SAM.gov. Archived notices and attachments are not included.

Discovered
summarize_opportunities

Count active SAM.gov notices grouped by agency, sub-tier, office, NAICS, PSC, set-aside, notice type, place-of-performance state, contracting office state, or posted month. Accepts the same filters as search_opportunities, e.g. counts of open solicitations under one NAICS by set-aside, or which agencies posted the most sources sought notices this quarter. Counts cover active notices in SAM.gov's public daily file, including notices posted in earlier fiscal years that remain active. This is not a complete historical archive; archived notices are not included.
