Tools

search_contracts$0.01Filtered search of opportunities + awards (keyword, agency, NAICS, state, value range, status, posted-after), newest first
contract_detailfreeFull record for one solicitation number
agency_spending$0.01Live spend-by-NAICS + top awardees for an agency / fiscal year

mint_infofreeFoundryNet Data Network directory + attestation info

Free tier: 25 paid-tool queries/day per agent (plus unlimited free contract_detail). Pass agent_id to scope your allowance. After that, each query costs $0.01 per query via x402: the tool returns an HTTP-402 with a payment memo — complete the returned payment challenge, then re-call with the same arguments plus payment_tx=<signature>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_… key bypasses the paywall.

Data sources

  • SAM.gov Opportunities API — open solicitations / opportunity notices.
  • USASpending.gov Award API — awarded contracts (FPDS data flows through here).

A background agent refreshes the dataset every 6 hours; agency_spending queries USASpending live so it always reflects the full federal record.
