## 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-va-opportunities-search-f30c12f6
```

Example prompt: Find me active VA contract solicitations for medical imaging equipment posted after 2026-07-01, filtered to SDVOSBC set-asides in Florida — show me up to 25 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need VA Department solicitations rather than all federal opportunities. It is ideal for businesses targeting VA medical centers, VA construction, or VA services, and for those qualifying under VA-specific set-asides like SDVOSBC or VOSB. Prefer the broader unified search endpoint if you need opportunities across all federal agencies.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if filters are too narrow or no active solicitations match the criteria
- Invalid NAICS or set-aside codes return empty results or an error
- Date format errors (not YYYY-MM-DD) may cause query failure
- Rate limits or payment failures (x402) block the request
- Stale data if SAM.gov pipeline has not refreshed recently

## How this service works

What is the Department of Veterans Affairs soliciting right now? A VA-focused slice of the SAM.gov contract-opportunity pipeline (department = Veterans Affairs): search active VA solicitations by keyword, NAICS, set-aside (SDVOSBC, VOSB, SBA...), place-of-performance state, or posted date. Returns the solicitation, NAICS/PSC, set-aside, deadline, and link — VA medical-center construction, equipment, and services buys for device, construction, and staffing sellers.

## Output

Returns a list of matching VA solicitation records, each containing the solicitation title, NAICS code, PSC code, set-aside type, response deadline, posted date, and a direct link to the full opportunity on SAM.gov. Results are paginated via limit and offset parameters.
