You tell us what to watch - NAICS codes, product service codes, agencies down to the office, set-aside types, place of performance, keywords - and we build the SAM.gov crawler, run it on your schedule and repair it when the site changes. SAM.gov draws its search results and notice pages with scripts, so rendering, pacing, proxy rotation and CAPTCHA handling are part of the service.
Every run is compared with the previous pass. A moved response date, an added attachment or a fresh Updated tag arrives as a flagged change on the existing row, not as a duplicate. Delivery goes out as CSV, Excel or JSON, through our API, or as a load into your database, with field documentation attached.
Each notice on SAM.gov carries a Notice ID chosen by the contracting office - usually its solicitation number - and a longer internal key in the page address. Both go into the row, with the version the page labels Current Record. The fields follow the sections of the notice page itself:
Notice types stay as SAM.gov words them - Presolicitation, Sources Sought, Combined Synopsis/Solicitation, Solicitation, Special Notice, Award Notice - with the Original or Updated prefix the search card shows. Points of contact are named contracting staff with direct e-mail and phone; we leave those people out by default and keep the office.
Contract Opportunities is one search domain of several, and the others answer different questions.
History is what a single visit cannot give you. Inactive notices fall out of the default Active filter and amendments replace the current response date, so a record of every change exists only if the same searches run on a schedule. Repeated runs give deadline moves, amendment counts, time from sources sought to award and an agency's buying calendar. Full entity registrations show only to signed-in SAM.gov users: we add them when a project runs on your own SAM.gov account, and otherwise the entity side of the data comes from award notices and exclusion records.
SAM.gov, the System for Award Management, is run by the U.S. General Services Administration and is where federal contracting offices post presolicitation, solicitation, award and sole source notices. Searching needs no account; signing in adds saved searches, followed notices and interested vendor lists. Grant opportunities live elsewhere - the Contract Opportunities page sends grant seekers to Grants.gov.
Search is divided into domains under three headings. Contracting holds Contract Opportunities, Contract Awards, Subcontract Reports, Subcontracting Plan Reports and Other Transactions. Entity Information holds Entities, the Disaster Response Registry, Responsibility / Qualification and Exclusions. Federal Assistance holds Assistance Listings and Subaward Reports.
Contract Opportunities filters by Federal Organizations, Dates, Notice Type, Product or Service Information, Set Aside, Place of Performance, Contract Awardee and Active or Inactive status, with keyword modes for any words, all words or an exact phrase, and sorting by updated date, title or relevance. Department, Sub-tier and Office follow the GSA Federal Hierarchy and appear in capitals, such as DEPT OF THE NAVY, and we keep them exactly as written.
Delivery: CSV, JSON or XLSX files, our API or a JSON feed. MCP server on request.
Full plan detailsThe first buyer is a government contractor that wants new notices matched to its NAICS codes and set-aside status well before the response date, without staff refreshing searches. That is a daily feed cut by Product Service Code, office and place of performance. The larger uses come from rows accumulated over months:
Learn how to use web scraping to solve data problems for your organization
Eight US sources of federal records and court data, from SAM.gov contract notices to EPA ECHO violations and USPTO trademarks: what each site shows, the identifiers that join them, and how to build one dataset from several.
Data scraping is the wide term that includes documents, scans and old screens; web scraping is the part that works on websites. We compare sources, daily work, output and cost drivers, give a briefing checklist and walk through two of our projects.
Leveraging advances in technology, the AI-powered web scraper has skyrocketed in demand and is helping to expand capabilities by automating tedious daily tasks and speeding up data collection from thousands of websites several times over.
ScrapeIt is a managed web scraping service: we build, run and repair the crawlers, and you receive the records. For a federal procurement source like SAM.gov the work is in the slicing - your codes, agencies and set-asides - and in keeping a change history between runs, delivered in the shape your bid team or analysts already use. A project starts with a free assessment and a sample built on your own NAICS codes; runs are one-off or repeat daily or weekly, or whenever you call for them.

Yes. The ScrapeIt SAM.gov API returns Notice ID, notice type, NAICS code, Product Service Code, set-aside, response date and awardee UEI as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. The same records can also arrive as CSV or XLSX files, a JSON feed or rows loaded into your database.
Yes. Contract notices, award notices, assistance listings and exclusion records are open to anyone who searches, with no account needed. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on SAM.gov - and we collect it legally. Named contracting staff and excluded individuals are personal data, handled under GDPR and left out by default.
Yes. The Exclusions domain filters by classification, federal organization, exclusion type, exclusion program, location and dates, and each record carries the Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, active date and a termination date or Indefinite. We deliver firms and special entity designations, and a daily rerun shows a new or lapsed exclusion as a change.
Notices are published through the day and amended in place, with the Updated Date and its revision count changing. For bid teams a daily run is the norm, twice a day near busy deadlines; for market research a weekly pass over the whole domain is enough. Each delivery marks what changed since the last one.
Yes, forward from the first run and backward as far as the Inactive filter still returns notices. Every row is keyed on Notice ID and the internal notice key and stored with its capture time, so you can query moved deadlines, amendments and awards by office in your own database.
You share your needs, expectations, and desired timeframe. We'll suggest the best solution based on your request and budget.
Our specialists configure the crawlers and extract a sample dataset for your review before proceeding with the full-scale extraction.
Once you approve the sample, we launch the project and start full data collection. We gather, filter, and structure the data for easy use, delivering it on time in your preferred format.
Our team manages ongoing processes, monitors website changes, and supports all data extraction cycles. We can also help integrate data into your systems or create dashboards to simplify analysis.
