FedWatch — Federal Funding & Lien Watcher

Server Details

Watches US federal contract and grant opportunities (SAM.gov, Grants.gov) and reports what changed.

The last two health checks of this connector failed. If this server requires authentication, missing or expired test credentials may be the cause. A test profile lets Glama authenticate for health checks and discover tools; it is separate from your personal connections.

B3.4/5.0

Scored across 17 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Each domain has one search entry, and the four contracts_search_* variants are explicitly differentiated (awards made vs. curated bid outcomes vs. nine research cases vs. live SAM opportunities), as are grants_search vs. grants_search_programs. Residual confusion remains: an agent must parse long descriptions to pick between contracts_search_awards and contracts_search_bid_outcomes, and fedwatch_signal_search overlaps every other search as a cross-source wrapper.

Naming Consistency4/5

Nearly everything follows a predictable <domain>_search suffix (businesses_search, liens_search, permits_search, securities_search), with contracts_search_* acting as a coherent subfamily. Minor deviations: contracts_search_awards places the verb before the noun, grants_search_programs appends an unseparated qualifier, and fedwatch_signal_search breaks the bare-domain pattern.

Tool Count3/5

17 tools is at the upper edge for one server, and the count is inflated by three tools (courts_search, enforcement_search, ip_search) that currently only return a named credential gate. Four contract variants and two grant variants also add surface area that could be collapsed or deferred.

Completeness3/5

Search coverage across domains is broad, but there is no fetch-by-id/detail or document-retrieval companion for any record type, and no general alert/watch lifecycle beyond the securities mention. Complete domains (courts, federal enforcement, IP) are effectively dead ends until credentials are provisioned.

Available Tools

17 tools
contracts_search_awardsAInspect

Search federal contract AWARDS already made (USASpending, served from FedWatch's relay-ingested copy — a fleet machine syncs USASpending daily because USASpending blocks direct Worker fetches): who won, how much, which agency, period of performance. Filter by keyword, NAICS, and/or agency; sort by amount (default) or most recent. Every response states its data-as-of and the true total_matches under the filters. The incumbency/recompete evidence layer.

Inputs: sort, limit, naics, agency, +2 more.

contracts_search_bid_outcomesAInspect

Search PUBLIC, curator-ingested historical procurement results, disclosed winners, explicitly documented unsuccessful bidders, selection records and linked evidence. An award is never proof of which other firms lost or why. This is a partial curated KB, not all government procurements.

Inputs: limit, agency, keyword, outcome, +1 more.

contracts_search_bid_researchAInspect

Search nine source-linked historical PUBLIC procurement research cases: rubrics, committee scores, rankings, recommendations, approved awards and noncompetitive purchases. Preserves original stage; recommended/ranked is not awarded. This is a hand-selected research sample, NOT a complete bid universe or live SMAT outcomes.

Inputs: limit, stage, keyword.

contracts_search_opportunitiesAInspect

Search live federal contract opportunities on SAM.gov, newest-modified first. Filter by keyword, NAICS codes, set-aside codes (e.g. SBA, 8A, HZC, SDVOSBC, WOSB), and notice types (e.g. 'Sources Sought'). The public index applies those filters after fetch, so a filtered search pages deeper (up to 10 pages / 1,000 records) until the filter is satisfied — the response reports pages_fetched, how many records were examined (fetched), and scan_truncated when the page budget ran out. Returns the SAM index total and the post-filter count.

Inputs: size, naics, keyword, active_only, +2 more.

grants_search_programsAInspect

Search the SAM.gov Assistance Listings program catalog (the programs behind the grants — by agency and program number). Catalog data: use grants_search for live deadlines.

Inputs: size, keyword.
