Daily SAM.gov Alerts in Your NAICS Codes (No API Key)

Description and use

Automating daily SAM.gov opportunity monitoring for selected NAICS codes reduces manual effort and improves bid response efficiency.

Problem

Frequent manual checks of SAM.gov for new opportunities in specific NAICS codes are time‑consuming and error‑prone.

Outcome

Users receive timely, filtered alerts for new federal contracting opportunities matching their NAICS codes, reducing manual search time and improving response rates.

Workflow

• List 6‑digit NAICS codes and relevant keywords.
• Choose an automation approach: (A) SAM.gov saved search + Notify, (B) Get Opportunities API, or (C) scheduled feed from public daily extract.
• For approach A: sign in, save search, enable Notify; receive email with link to results.
• For approach B: obtain API key, construct GET request with parameters (ncode, ptype, set‑aside, state, postedFrom/postedTo), respect 10‑request/24h limit.
• For approach C: build JSON input with desired filters (naicsCodes, setAsideTypes, placeOfPerformanceStates, noticeTypes, postedWithinDays, excludeExpired, dedupeBySolicitation, maxResults, includeSam, includeGrants), run Apify Actor, schedule daily, and route results to desired channel.

Evidence

If you sell to the federal government, the routine is the same every day: open SAM.gov, re-run your searches, and scan for anything new in your NAICS codes before the response window closes.
