## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability govparse-federal-opportunities-search-14b98118
```

Example prompt: Can you find open federal contracts and grants for cybersecurity services — specifically 8a and WOSB set-asides in Virginia under NAICS code 5415 — with deadlines before September 30, 2026?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover active federal procurement opportunities across both SAM.gov contracts and Grants.gov grants in a single call. It is ideal for businesses researching bid pipelines, grant writers scanning open solicitations, or agents automating opportunity monitoring. Prefer this over direct SAM.gov or Grants.gov API calls when you need unified search with set-aside filtering, NAICS prefix matching, and deadline windowing in one request.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if filters are too restrictive or no matching opportunities exist
- Invalid NAICS code prefix returns empty results or error
- Unsupported set-aside code may return no results
- Date format errors (non-YYYY-MM-DD) may cause parameter rejection
- Pagination offset beyond result count returns empty array
- Agency name fragment too vague may return overly broad results

## How this service works

What federal contract solicitations and grant opportunities can my business bid on right now? Unified search over SAM.gov contract opportunities and Grants.gov postings: keyword, awarding agency, NAICS prefix, set-aside (SBA, 8A, WOSB, SDVOSBC...), place-of-performance state, and posted/deadline date windows. One call answers 'find open federal money that fits us'.

## Output

A paginated list of matching federal contract solicitations and/or grant opportunities, each with opportunity title, awarding agency, NAICS code, set-aside type, place of performance, posted date, and response deadline. Results are drawn from SAM.gov (contracts) and Grants.gov (grants) and reflect currently active, open opportunities.
