## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability federal-contractor-spending-profile-eae1cae9
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full federal spending profile for Booz Allen Hamilton — I want to see their total federal dollars, top agencies, NAICS breakdown, and fiscal-year trend for 2023 contracts only?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, fused overview of a federal contractor's spending footprint without making multiple separate USASpending.gov API calls. It is ideal for competitive intelligence, vendor due diligence, market research on government contractors, or any workflow requiring total federal spend, agency diversity, and award history in one call. Prefer this over raw USASpending.gov queries when you want pre-aggregated, analyst-ready data.

## Known failure modes

- Contractor name not found in USASpending.gov — returns empty results or no match
- Ambiguous contractor name matching multiple entities — may return aggregated or incorrect data
- Invalid or unknown UEI provided — returns error or empty profile
- Unsupported award_type enum value — schema validation error
- Fiscal year out of range or no data for that year — empty trend data
- Rate limit or payment failure — 402 response requiring valid x402 payment

## How this service works

Profile a federal contractor's spending footprint by name or UEI in one call: total federal dollars, top agencies, top NAICS, a fiscal-year trend and recent awards, fused from several USASpending.gov queries.

## Output

A structured summary of the contractor's federal spending footprint including: total obligated dollars, breakdown by top awarding agencies, top NAICS industry codes, a fiscal-year spending trend series, and a list of recent award records — all fused from multiple USASpending.gov queries in a single response.
