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.

Every figure shown here about How many federal contract opportunities does Department of Transportation post each week, can also be queried live: FACTANKER runs an MCP server at https://factanker.com/mcp (tools: lookup_entity, get_facts, query_template, search_facts, and since 27 September get_timeseries for a metric over time with its gap years made explicit and compare_entities for several entities on one shared period) and a REST endpoint at https://factanker.com/api/get_facts. Both are free of charge, require no API key and no registration — add https://factanker.com/mcp as a connector in Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot. Every answer carries its source document and a citation reference. Setup: /quickstart.
