## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need Department of Energy federal contract awards and want to avoid post-filtering a broader awards feed. It is pre-scoped to DOE, making it faster and cheaper than fetching all agency awards. Prefer it over the generic /v1/contracts/awards endpoint when your query is DOE-specific. Use the GSA sibling endpoint instead if you need General Services Administration contracts.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned when filters are too narrow (e.g. obscure NAICS code + high min_value_usd + tight date range)
- Invalid date format for 'since' parameter returns validation error
- NAICS code not matching DOE award categories returns empty list
- limit exceeding 50 rejected with 400 validation error
- Vendor substring too short (< 2 chars) rejected by schema validation
