How this service works
Federal contract awards: recent 14-day USAspending actions to AI, drone, nuclear, robotics, space, quantum and defense-tech companies (ticker, amount, agency, date, award link). Optional ?ticker=PLTR§or=ai&q=NASA. Defense/DoD awards appear on USAspending about 90 days late; war.gov daily announcements are currently unavailable from our host (see free /api/govcontracts/status). 30-min cache. $0.01 USDC. Signal only.
Output
Returns a list of recent federal contract award actions (last 14 days) from USAspending.gov, each including the company ticker, award dollar amount, awarding agency name, award date, and a direct link to the award record on USAspending. Results are filtered to companies in covered sectors (AI, drones, nuclear, robotics, space, quantum, defense-tech, defense-prime). Response is cached for 30 minutes. Note: Defense/DoD awards typically appear on USAspending ~90 days late.
Example use cases
AI sector contract monitoring
“Show me all federal contracts awarded to AI companies in the last two weeks, and flag any over $10 million.”
Ticker-specific award lookup
“What government contracts has Palantir won recently? Pull the award amounts, agencies, and links from USAspending.”
Space sector competitive intel
“I want to see recent federal contract awards to space companies — who's been winning DoD and NASA money in the past 14 days?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://micro-saas-agent.onrender.com/api/govcontracts?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need quick, filtered signal on which publicly-traded defense and emerging-tech companies have received recent federal contract awards, especially when you want to cross-reference government spending with investment tickers. Prefer this over raw USAspending API access when you want pre-filtered sector coverage (AI, drones, space, quantum, nuclear, robotics) without building your own parsing layer. Not ideal for real-time DoD contract announcements (90-day USAspending lag) or for comprehensive historical contract databases.
Side effects
- Defense/DoD awards lag ~90 days on USAspending, so very recent DoD contracts may not appear
- War.gov daily announcements are currently unavailable from the host provider
- No results returned if no awards match the specified ticker, sector, or keyword in the last 14 days
- Invalid sector enum value returns an error
- Cache may serve data up to 30 minutes stale
- Service may be temporarily unavailable due to render.com cold starts or hosting limits
