Tools
| Tool | Description | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| check_exclusions | Check SAM.gov's exclusion (debarment) list for a company or person — entities the government has barred from receiving federal contracts or subcontracts. Run this before teaming with or subcontracting to anyone: one excluded partner can poison a bid. Match by exact company name or UEI; a state filter disambiguates common names. Records come from SAM.gov's published exclusions extract, refreshed weekly. | Not declared |
| find_teaming_partners | Find who a company teams with on federal contracts — the primes it subcontracts for and the subcontractors under it. Built from prime-reported subcontract records (USAspending/FSRS): real reported relationships, not guesses. Use it before a recompete to map an incumbent's bench, or to find primes a subcontractor already works with. Requires a BidCatch intel key. | Not declared |
| get_agency_forecast | List an agency's published procurement forecast — planned contract actions with estimated values and timelines, in the agency's own words. Planning-grade data; entries can be revised or cancelled. Requires a BidCatch intel key. | Not declared |
| get_award_history | Search federal contract award history — who won what, for how much, and when. Use it to size up incumbents, price work, or find buyers. Requires a BidCatch intel key. | Not declared |
| get_protest_record | Search Government Accountability Office (GAO) bid protest decisions — who challenged an award, and whether the referee sustained or denied it. Requires a BidCatch intel key. | Not declared |
| get_recompete_radar | List federal contracts nearing expiration — each one a competition about to reopen. Filter by keyword, NAICS code, or state. Requires a BidCatch intel key. | Not declared |
| 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 search. Requires a BidCatch intel key. | Not declared |
| search_bids | Search government bid opportunities (open and past) by keyword, state, and buyer level. Results are relevance-ranked; keyword matches in the title outrank passing mentions in the description. | Not declared |
