## 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-us-federal-contract-award-search-60861c44
```

Example prompt: Pull the top federal contract awards for cybersecurity services in Virginia, NAICS code 541519 — I want to see who the winning vendors are, the award amounts, and which agencies are spending the most.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need historical or recent federal contract award data — who won, how much, and which agency awarded it. Prefer this over SAM.gov opportunity search when you want awarded/executed contracts rather than open solicitations. Ideal for vendor competitive intelligence, market sizing, and identifying incumbent contractors in a specific domain or geography.

## Known failure modes

- No awards found for the given keyword/NAICS/agency combination — returns empty result set
- Invalid NAICS code format causes query error
- State filter uses non-standard abbreviation and returns no results
- USASpending.gov upstream API unavailable, causing timeout or 502
- Overly broad keyword returns too many results with low relevance
