Search government solicitations

Full-text search over 10M+ government procurement records (solicitations, tenders, RFPs, grants) from 193 countries, 60 of them with a national procurement source, updated daily. Returns up to 20 relevance-ranked results per page with id, title, agency, country_code, value_usd, deadline, status, category, slug and a text snippet. Use the id (always present) — or the slug when set — with get_solicitation for the full record. Terms are matched with OR and ranked by relevance, so a multi-word query

Get a solicitation record

Fetch one full public solicitation record by slug (as returned by search_solicitations / get_live_opportunity_feed) or by UUID. Returns title (original + English), agency, country, value and currency, deadline, published date, status, category, NAICS/CPV codes, source_url, and the full description. Returns error 'not_found' for unknown slugs/ids. FREE tier: returns the FACTUAL record only (the fields above), capped at ~10 opens per visitor per 24h (free_tier=true, opens_remaining; an honest free

Get related solicitations

Up to 5 open solicitations related to a given record slug, matched by country and NAICS code, ordered by nearest deadline. Fast, index-backed lookup. Useful for 'what else is open like this?' FREE tier: a taste of up to 3 related records, capped at ~3 calls per visitor per 24h. A GlobalGov plan with API access (sign in with GlobalGov or connect an X-API-Key) returns the full related set (up to 5) and lifts the daily cap.

Live opportunity feed

A random sample of 12 records from the curated live feed of open defense/technology opportunities (multi-country, multi-source, deduplicated by country+source). Served entirely from a background-refreshed cache; if the cache is cold the tool returns a retryable 'warming_up' error rather than an empty list. No arguments. Requires a GlobalGov plan with API access (sign in with GlobalGov or connect an X-API-Key); anonymous callers get an 'unavailable_for_tier' result.

Platform coverage statistics

Canonical GlobalGov coverage numbers: total and open solicitation counts, countries covered, source systems, languages, vendor counts. Pre-computed nightly and served from cache; if the cache is cold the tool returns a retryable 'computing' error and the refresh is dispatched automatically. No arguments.
