SAM.gov Contract Opportunities, public daily extract of active notices. Notices are counted by their posting date; the 7-day window ends on the extract date. Award amounts are the figures stated in award notices (often contract ceilings, not obligations; USAspending records the money actually committed). Place of performance is stated on only part of the notices; state figures cover those. No contact persons are stored; individuals among awardees are described by industry and place instead of name. Source record.
