## 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 govspendpulse-federal-contract-opportunity-brief-61ef5a43
```

Example prompt: Pull a full contract brief on SAM.gov solicitation W912DQ-25-R-0042 — I need the incumbent analysis, historical award context, competitive landscape, and a bid/no-bid recommendation so I can decide whether to pursue it.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific federal solicitation ID or opportunity number and need deep intelligence on whether and how to pursue it — as opposed to searching for new opportunities (use the federal opportunity search endpoint) or analyzing a vendor's win history (use the competitive intelligence endpoint). Best suited for capture managers and proposal teams doing go/no-go decisions on a known opportunity.

## Known failure modes

- Solicitation number not found in federal databases — returns error or empty brief
- Opportunity is too new with no historical award data available
- SAM.gov data may lag real-time postings by hours
- Insufficient public data to identify incumbent — incumbent field may be null
- Malformed or unrecognized solicitation ID format returns validation error

## How this service works

Federal contract opportunity brief, bid/no-bid intelligence, and incumbent analysis for any specific solicitation. Covers historical award context, incumbent analysis, requirements intelligence, competitive landscape, a bid/no-bid signal, and concrete next steps — for capture and proposal agents.

## Output

A structured intelligence brief covering: historical award context for the solicitation, identified incumbent contractor(s), requirements intelligence extracted from the opportunity, competitive landscape (likely bidders and win probabilities), a binary bid/no-bid signal with rationale, and concrete capture and proposal next steps.
