Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## SAM.gov Government Contracts Search federal government contract opportunities directly from [SAM.gov](https://sam.gov) — the official U.S. government system for contract opportunities, federal awards, and entity registrations. ### What It Does This actor searches the SAM.gov Opportunities API and returns structured data for government contract opportunities including solicitations, awards, sources sought, pre-solicitations, and more. **Perfect for:** - 🏗️ Government contractors looking for new opportunities - 📊 Market researchers tracking federal spending - 🔍 Business development teams monitoring agency activity - 📈 Data analysts studying procurement trends - 🤖 Automated bid monitoring pipelines ### Features - **Search by keyword** — Find opportunities by title (e.g., "construction", "cybersecurity") - **Filter by NAICS code** — Target your industry sector - **Filter by state** — Find local opportunities - **Filter by set-aside** — Small business, 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, and more - **Filter by procurement type** — Solicitations, awards, sources sought, etc. - **Filter by agency** — Target specific departments - **Date range filtering** — Posted date and response deadline ranges - **Up to 1,000 results** per run with automatic pagination ### API Key (Required — Free) This actor requires a SAM.gov API key. Getting one is **free**: 1. Create an account at [sam.gov](https://sam.gov) 2. Go to **Account Details** 3. Click **Public API Key** to generate your key 4. Paste it into the `apiKey` input field ### Input Example ```json { "apiKey": "YOUR_SAM_GOV_API_KEY", "keyword": "construction", "naicsCode": "236220", "state": "CO", "setAside": "SBA", "postedFrom": "2026-01-01", "limit": 25 } ```` ### Output Example ```json { "title": "Renovation of Federal Building", "solicitationNumber": "47PF0026R0045", "noticeId": "abc123def456", "type": "Solicitation", "baseType": "Combined Synopsis/Solicitation", "organization": "GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION.PUBLIC BUILDINGS SERVICE.PBS R8", "postedDate": "2026-03-15", "responseDeadline": "2026-04-15 05:00:00 PM EDT", "naicsCode": "236220", "classificationCode": "Z", "setAside": "Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)", "setAsideCode": "SBA", "active": "Yes", "placeOfPerformance": { "city": "Denver", "state": "CO", "zip": "80202", "country": "USA" }, "award": null, "contacts": [ { "name": "Jane Smith", "title": "Contracting Officer", "email": "jane.smith@gsa.gov", "phone": "3035551234", "type": "primary" } ], "descriptionUrl": "https://api.sam.gov/prod/opportunities/v1/noticedesc?noticeid=abc123def456", "samUrl": "https://sam.gov/opp/abc123def456/view", "additionalInfoLink": null, "resourceLinks": [] } ``` ### Set-Aside Types | Code | Description | |------|-------------| | SBA | Total Small Business Set-Aside | | SBP | Partial Small Business Set-Aside | | 8A | 8(a) Set-Aside | | 8AN | 8(a) Sole Source | | HZC | HUBZone Set-Aside | | HZS | HUBZone Sole Source | | SDVOSBC | Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned SB Set-Aside | | SDVOSBS | Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned SB Sole Source | | WOSB | Women-Owned Small Business Set-Aside | | WOSBSS | Women-Owned Small Business Sole Source | | EDWOSB | Economically Disadvantaged WOSB Set-Aside | | VSA | Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside | ### Procurement Types | Code | Description | |------|-------------| | o | Solicitation | | k | Combined Synopsis/Solicitation | | p | Pre-solicitation | | r | Sources Sought | | s | Special Notice | | a | Award Notice | | u | Justification (J\&A) | | g | Sale of Surplus Property | ### Rate Limits SAM.gov API has daily rate limits based on your account type. The actor respects these limits. If you hit the limit, wait 24 hours or contact SAM.gov support. ### Data Source All data comes directly from the official [SAM.gov Opportunities API](https://open.gsa.gov/api/get-opportunities-public-api/). This is public U.S. government data. ### Tips - **Date range is required** — The API requires `postedFrom` and `postedTo`. If not provided, the actor defaults to the last 30 days. - **Max date range is 1 year** — SAM.gov limits date ranges to 1 year. - **Combine filters** for targeted results — e.g., NAICS code + state + set-aside. - **Check `descriptionUrl`** — Append your API key to download the full description. # Actor input Schema ## `apiKey` (type: `string`): Your SAM.gov public API key.
