What you give it
Every field is optional unless marked; sensible defaults do the rest.
| Field | Type | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
awardTypes |
array | Which kinds of federal award to monitor. Default: contracts (the procurement awards most competitive-intel buyers watch). | ["contracts"] |
keywords |
array | Alert on awards whose description, recipient or industry label contains ANY of these words (case-insensitive). Example: ["cybersecurity", "cloud"]. Leave empty to match everything and filter by NAICS, agency or recipient instead. | [] |
naicsCodes |
array | Industry codes, 2-6 digits. Filters the USAspending query server-side. Example: ["541512", "541519"]. | [] |
pscCodes |
array | Product Service Codes, e.g. ["D310", "R425"]. An award matches when it hits ANY of your NAICS or PSC codes. | [] |
agencies |
array | Only awards from these top-tier awarding agencies (exact agency name). Example: ["Department of Defense", "Department of Veterans Affairs"]. | [] |
recipients |
array | Only awards to recipients matching these names - watch specific competitors or partners. Example: ["Booz Allen", "Leidos"]. Matches the recipient name. | [] |
states |
array | Two-letter US state codes for where the work is performed, e.g. ["TX", "VA"]. Empty = whole country. | [] |
minAmountUsd |
integer | Only alert on awards of at least this many dollars. Awards without a published amount always pass. | - |
lookbackDays |
integer | How many days of already-posted awards the FIRST run of a profile loads as its baseline. Later runs automatically continue from the previous run with one day of overlap - re-alerting a seen award is impossible. | 7 |
alertOn |
string | "new" alerts once per award. "new-and-updated" also alerts when a seen award is modified (marked isUpdate: true), e.g. a new obligation or amount change. | new |
emitBaseline |
boolean | On the very first run of a profile, push the currently matching awards (flagged isBaseline: true, charged at the lower baseline price). Turn off to seed silently and only ever receive new alerts. | True |
resetState |
boolean | Discard this profile's memory of already-seen awards and start over with a fresh baseline run. One-shot switch: turn it back off afterwards. | False |
maxItems |
integer | Upper bound on items pushed per run (baseline or alerts). Matches beyond the cap are not lost: they alert on the next run. | 500 |
stateStoreName |
string | Named key-value store holding the monitor's seen-award memory. Only change this to run fully isolated monitor instances. | usa-award-monitor-state |
