FAQ

Questions FPDS owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I specifically target Department of Defense (DOD) contracts?

    To target DOD contracts, include DEPARTMENT_ID:"9700" or AGENCY_CODE:"9700" in your sQuery parameter when using the search_contracts capability.

  • 02

    Can I paginate through large sets of contract results?

    Yes. The search_contracts capability supports a start parameter. Results are returned in batches of 10, so you can increment the start number (e.g., 10, 20, 30) to see more records.

  • 03

    What search syntax should I use for the sQuery parameter?

    The search_contracts capability uses the standard FPDS Atom Feed search syntax. You can search by keywords, or use specific fields like VENDOR_NAME:"Example Corp" or PIID:"ContractID".
