# SAM.gov Operations Skill

Query the U.S. federal government's System for Award Management (SAM.gov) for:
- **Entity registrations** - Verify contractors, lookup UEI/CAGE codes
- **Exclusions** - Check debarment/suspension status
- **Opportunities** - Find active contract solicitations
- **Contract awards** - Research awarded contracts

## API Endpoints

## Quick Start

```bash
# Set API key (or use .env)
export SAMGOV_API_KEY="your_api_key"

# Lookup entity by name
./run.sh entity --name "Lockheed Martin"

# Lookup entity by UEI
./run.sh entity --uei "EXAMPLEUEI123"

# Check exclusions (debarment)
./run.sh exclusions --name "John Doe"

# Search opportunities
./run.sh opportunities --keyword "cybersecurity" --days 30

# Search contracts
./run.sh contracts --agency "DOD" --naics 541512
```

./run.sh entity --cage "1ABC2"

# Filter by registration status
./run.sh entity --name "Boeing" --status active

# Output as JSON
./run.sh entity --name "Boeing" --json
```

**Response includes:**
