Australian federal government contracts and tenders, from the official AusTender feed.

Tool description as the model sees it

PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for Australian federal government contracts/tenders — “what did the Department of Defence award in May 2026”, “AusTender contracts published last month”, “recent Australian government procurement over $1M”. Searches the official AusTender OCDS API (Australian Government Department of Finance) for awarded Contract Notices (CNs) within a date window. Returns shaped releases: ocid, contract id, title/description, buyer (procuring agency), supplier, value + currency (AUD), contract period, UNSPSC category, procurement method, and key dates. Date range defaults to the last ~30 days if omitted.

Parameters

`date_from`	string	no	Start of window, ISO-8601 (e.g. “2026-06-01” or “2026-06-01T00:00:00Z”). Defaults to ~30 days ago.
`date_to`	string	no	End of window, ISO-8601 (e.g. “2026-06-30”). Defaults to now.
`notice_type`	string	no	Which date the window filters on: “contractPublished” (default), “contractLastModified”, “contractStart”, or “contractEnd”.
`limit`	number,string	no	Max releases to return (1–500). Default 25. The API pages 100 at a time; higher limits follow the cursor.
