Tools

• check_exclusions ~262 tokens
  Check SAM.gov's exclusion (debarment) list for a company or person — entities the government has barred from receiving federal contracts or subcontracts. Run this before teaming with or subcontracting to anyone: one excluded partner can poison a bid. Match by exact company name or UEI; a state filte
• find_teaming_partners ~264 tokens
  Find who a company teams with on federal contracts — the primes it subcontracts for and the subcontractors under it. Built from prime-reported subcontract records (USAspending/FSRS): real reported relationships, not guesses. Use it before a recompete to map an incumbent's bench, or to find primes a
• get_agency_forecast ~154 tokens
  List an agency's published procurement forecast — planned contract actions with estimated values and timelines, in the agency's own words. Planning-grade data; entries can be revised or cancelled. Requires a BidCatch intel key.
• get_award_history ~190 tokens
  Search federal contract award history — who won what, for how much, and when. Use it to size up incumbents, price work, or find buyers. Requires a BidCatch intel key.
• get_protest_record ~132 tokens
  Search Government Accountability Office (GAO) bid protest decisions — who challenged an award, and whether the referee sustained or denied it. Requires a BidCatch intel key.
• get_recompete_radar ~186 tokens
  List federal contracts nearing expiration — each one a competition about to reopen. Filter by keyword, NAICS code, or state. Requires a BidCatch intel key.
• search_awards ~319 tokens
  Filter federal contract awards by exact fields — recipient, awarding agency, NAICS code, state — instead of keyword search. Includes a single-bid filter for awards that drew exactly one offer. Use this when you know the slice you want; use get_award_history for topic/keyword search. Requires a BidCa
• search_bids ~230 tokens
  Search government bid opportunities (open and past) by keyword, state, and buyer level. Results are relevance-ranked; keyword matches in the title outrank passing mentions in the description.
