    Search federal contract award history — who won what, for how much, and when. Use it to size up incumbents, price work, or find buyers. amount: the award's current value; null = no current value reported (never the ceiling). Requires a BidCatch intel key.

  • get_recompete_radar

  • search_awards

    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 sea…
