extract_govcontracts
Read-only
Fetch US federal government contract awards from USASpending.gov to identify buying intent signals, competitive intelligence, and GTM opportunities. Search by company name, keyword, or NAICS code for award details including amounts, dates, and agencies.
Instructions
Fetch US federal government contract awards from USASpending.gov. No API key required. Search by company name (e.g. 'Palantir'), keyword (e.g. 'AI infrastructure'), or NAICS code (e.g. '541511'). Returns award amounts, dates, awarding agency, NAICS code, and contract descriptions — all timestamped. Use this to find buying intent signals (a company that just won a $5M DoD contract is actively hiring and spending), competitive intelligence, or GTM targeting.
