Evidence-backed facts

  1. The SAM.gov public opportunities API exposes published federal contract opportunity notices and associated identifiers, dates, agencies, classifications, locations, links, and attachments. informative
  2. Requests require a registered API key, which must remain secret; read access does not grant entity registration, bid submission, notice publication, award, or procurement authority. informative
  3. Clients must bind posted-date ranges and supported notice filters, page through bounded results, preserve notice identifiers, and follow documented attachment and throttling behavior. informative
  4. Opportunity notices can be amended, cancelled, archived, delayed, or incomplete and do not prove vendor eligibility, award likelihood, available funding, or a binding solicitation interpretation. informative
