What you give it

Every field is optional unless marked; sensible defaults do the rest.

FieldTypeWhat it doesDefault
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"]. Combined with pscCodes this narrows rather than widens: an award must match both lists. ["541512"]
pscCodes array Product Service Codes, e.g. ["D310", "R425"]. USAspending applies NAICS and PSC together, so setting both narrows to awards matching a code in each list - set only one to widen. []
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). On an alert run, matches beyond the cap alert on the next run. On the very first (baseline) run they are recorded as already seen instead, so raise this before the first run if you need the whole baseline. 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
reportFailures boolean When a run fails, send the developer the actor name and build, an error category, the error message (truncated) and a one-way hash of your input - so a bug can be fixed without anyone asking you to reproduce it. Your input itself, your results and your identity are never sent, and successful runs send nothing at all. Switch this off and the actor behaves exactly the same. True

What you get back

FieldTypeMeaning
awardId string The award's PIID / FAIN identifier.
recipientName string The winning organization. Organization-level data.
amountUsd number USAspending's award amount: the money obligated so far, not the contract ceiling. A large IDIQ with little drawn down therefore reads small here, and minAmountUsd filters on this number.
awardingAgency string Top-tier awarding agency.
awardingSubAgency string Awarding sub-agency where provided.
awardType string The award's type label.
naicsCode string NAICS industry code. Reusable as the naicsCodes input.
naicsDescription string NAICS industry description.
pscCode string Product Service Code.
startDate string Period-of-performance start date, YYYY-MM-DD.
endDate string Period-of-performance end date, YYYY-MM-DD.
lastModifiedDate string Date the award record was last modified, YYYY-MM-DD.
placeState string Place-of-performance state, two-letter code.
description string Award description as published.
url string Link to the award on USAspending.gov.
isBaseline boolean True on items from a profile's first run (the recent baseline). False on real new-award alerts.
isUpdate boolean True when the alert is a modification of an already-seen award (alertOn: new-and-updated).
