20 tools

• get_catalog

  What SpendQuery can answer: data coverage, metrics, dimensions (with examples and whether they apply to contracts or assistance), analyses, the QueryPlan JSON schema, planning rules and example question -> plan pairs. Call this first (no arguments): the federal catalog…

• run_plan

• search_recipients

  Find award recipients (companies, universities, governments) by name or UEI. Returns each registration's UEI, parent, listed-company ticker (if matched) and its OWN obligations across loaded years, largest first. A parent's money sits on its units, so a parent UEI's own…

  Browse what the government buys, with contract spend. kind: psc (products and services) | naics (industries). No group and no query -> the groups (PSC: services by letter, e.g. D = IT services, R = professional support; products by 2 digits, e.g. 84 = clothing and…

• get_notice

  Describe the work in plain words -> the NAICS codes buyers actually use for it (codes on SAM.gov notices whose titles have the words and on federal contracts described with them), each with its SBA size standard.

• vehicle_match

  For 6-digit NAICS codes (and an optional agency): the shared contract vehicles (GWACs, multiple-award IDIQs, GSA Schedule, BPAs) carrying last complete year's contract money in those codes, the share through each and who each is reserved for (read from its name).

• search_far

  Search the FAR and the DFARS (48 CFR chapters 1 and 2, as codified in the eCFR): sections whose title or text has every word, or a section number (e.g. 52.219-14) straight to it. reg: FAR | DFARS to limit. Returns section numbers, titles and a snippet; read one with…

• get_far_section

• search_notices

  Open SAM.gov contract notices still taking responses, in one call (no QueryPlan): by words (also matched by meaning), NAICS, place, set-aside, agency and notice type, soonest deadline first. Each notice has its id (for get_notice), set-aside, deadline with time zone…
