Late April 2026

SAM entity registry

Companies endpoint returns a profile for any of 873,000 SAM-registered firms: legal name, certifications, full NAICS list, registration expiration, address, POC, and (when applicable) award history in a single call. Response shape →

Four new SAM entity endpoints

GET /api/v1/entities/{uei} for single entity lookup, GET /api/v1/entities/by-cage/{cage} for the DoD legacy bridge, GET /api/v1/entities/search with NAICS × state × certification filters, GET /api/v1/entities/expiring for renewal radar.

Vendor Risk Intelligence

Seven-signal screening per UEI: exclusion status, address-cluster, name-variant cluster, individual exclusions at address, coordinated-wave membership, last-award-to-debarment timing, and dual CAGE codes. Returns a triage verdict and the underlying signal records. Single GET and bulk POST (up to 100 UEIs per request). How it works →

Pro Bundle Company Intelligence

/companies/{uei} returns total awards, top agencies, top NAICS, and recent activity. /peers ranks similar firms by NAICS and agency overlap. /search by name with pagination.

Notice attachments in the API

SOWs, RFP documents, and amendments are indexed alongside the notice description. Filter has_attachments=true on /opportunities/search to focus on notices with docs.

Mid April 2026

MCP for Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client

Early April 2026

Delta sync endpoint

GET /api/v1/opportunities/delta?since=YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ returns only records created or modified since the given timestamp. Lets you keep an internal index in sync without re-downloading.
