## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability govspendpulse-contract-intelligence-brief-8c704466
```

Example prompt: Can you pull a full contract intelligence brief on SAM.gov solicitation W52P1J-25-R-0012 — I need the incumbent breakdown, competitive landscape, historical award context, and a bid/no-bid recommendation so I can decide whether to pursue it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a deep, synthesized intelligence brief on a single specific federal contract opportunity — especially for bid/no-bid decisions, capture planning, or competitive positioning. Prefer this over general contract search endpoints when you already have a specific solicitation or contract number and need actionable strategic intelligence rather than a list of opportunities.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or invalid solicitation number returns no results
- Contract opportunity not yet indexed in source databases
- Insufficient historical data for accurate incumbent or award analysis
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 error
- Private or classified solicitations may return incomplete data

## How this service works

Real-time government procurement intelligence API. US federal contracts, EU tenders, UK contracts, development bank procurement. Pay-per-query via x402.

## Output

A structured intelligence brief covering: historical award context (past winners, award amounts, dates), incumbent identification and analysis, detailed requirements intelligence, competitive landscape with likely competitors, a clear bid/no-bid signal with rationale, and concrete next steps for capture or proposal preparation.
