`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).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`jurisdiction`	string	no	Jurisdiction key to target (e.g. “tx”, “wa”, “king-county-wa”). Omit to search all covered jurisdictions. Use gov_contracts_jurisdictions to list keys.
`vendor`	string	no	Winning vendor/supplier name to match (case-insensitive substring), e.g. “Microsoft”.
`keyword`	string	no	Match against contract title/description (case-insensitive substring), e.g. “software”, “road”.
`agency`	string	no	Awarding agency/department to match (case-insensitive substring). Not all jurisdictions carry an agency field.
`min_amount`	number,string	no	Only contracts whose value is at least this many dollars.
`limit`	number,string	no	Max contracts per jurisdiction (default 20, max 100).
