## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent-data-api-federal-contract-opportunities-search-bc42e10c
```

Example prompt: Find me open federal contract opportunities related to cybersecurity posted in the last 7 days in Virginia, focusing on service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides — give me up to 25 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fast, filtered access to current U.S. federal contract opportunities without building a direct SAM.gov integration. It is ideal when you need to filter by NAICS code, set-aside type, or state simultaneously, and when freshness within the day is sufficient (synced several times daily). Prefer this over direct SAM.gov API access when you want deduplicated results in a clean JSON format with predictable schema. Best suited for agents automating government business development workflows, bid monitoring, or small-business opportunity discovery.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid NAICS code format (must be exactly 6 digits) returns a validation error
- Invalid state code (must be 2-letter uppercase) returns a validation error
- Unrecognized set-aside code returns a validation error
- postedDays exceeding 14 returns an error since the synced copy only covers 14 days
- No results found returns count: 0 with empty results array
- Sync lag may cause very recently posted notices to be absent if not yet ingested
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) blocks the request if USDC payment is not processed

## How this service works

Search open U.S. federal contract opportunities (solicitations, presolicitations, sources sought) from a copy synced from SAM.gov several times a day. Use when you need current government RFPs or bids matching a title keyword, 6-digit NAICS code, small-business set-aside or place-of-performance state. Returns deduplicated JSON: notice ID, title, agency, NAICS, set-aside, posted date, response deadline, state, SAM.gov link and lastSynced. Defaults: last 7 days, 25 results (max 100).

## Output

A JSON object containing a count of matched results, the effective query parameters used (including date range), a lastSynced timestamp, and an array of deduplicated opportunity records each with: noticeId, title, agency, NAICS code, set-aside type, posted date, response deadline, place-of-performance state, and a direct SAM.gov URL for the notice.
