gov_contracts_search
Pack: us-gov-contracts · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/us-gov-contracts/mcp
Search AWARDED US state & local government contracts, normalized across jurisdictions (keyless open data). Filter by vendor (winning supplier), keyword (contract title/description), awarding agency, and minimum dollar amount. Covers state and county contract registries — pass a jurisdiction key (see gov_contracts_jurisdictions) to target one, or omit it to search all covered jurisdictions at once. Returns each contract with its ID, vendor, title, agency, amount, and dates. This is STATE/LOCAL award data (for federal contracts use USAspending/SAM tools).
