## 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 govparse-federal-contract-assistance-awards-feed-b700a877
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest federal contract and assistance awards in IT services — NAICS 5415 — awarded since June 1 2026, only amounts above $500,000, up to 500 rows, from any awarding agency.

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need a bulk, filterable stream of the most recent federal prime awards for sales prospecting, market intelligence, or monitoring which companies are receiving federal funding. It is ideal for agentic pipelines that need to page through large volumes of award records with cursor-based pagination and filter precisely by NAICS sector, awarding agency, award type, or recency. Choose over point-lookup endpoints when breadth and recency matter more than depth on a single award.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid cursor value returns a pagination error
- NAICS prefix not matching any awards returns empty result set
- min_amount set higher than any available awards returns empty rows
- Invalid date format for 'since' parameter returns a 400 validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) blocks the request
- Requesting limit above 1000 may be capped or return an error

## How this service works

Which companies just won federal money? Bulk feed over USAspending prime awards (contracts + assistance), newest-first by action date — a funded-growth signal for the awardee. Flat rows, cursor-paginated up to 1000/page, filterable by NAICS, awarding agency, minimum amount, award kind, or since. Each row carries the awardee, agency, award amount (with a banded size bucket), NAICS, dates, and UEI. Observational public records as filed.

## Output

Returns flat rows of prime award records, newest-first by action date, cursor-paginated up to 1000 per page. Each row includes the awardee name, awarding agency, award amount (with a banded size bucket label), NAICS code, action date, award type (contract or assistance), and UEI identifier. Also returns a next_cursor token for fetching the next page.
