FAQ

Questions HigherGov owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I search for contract opportunities by industry code (NAICS)?

    Yes! You can use industry codes like NAICS as parameters in the list_opportunities and list_contracts capabilities to precisely target your market sector.

  • 02

    How do I retrieve solicitation documents for an opportunity?

    First, use the get_opportunity capability to find document paths. Then, use the get_documents capability with the opportunity ID to retrieve secure, temporary download links.

  • 03

    Does the integration allow monitoring competitor awards?

    Absolutely. You can search past awards by company name or unique identifier using the list_contracts capability to understand your competitors' government footprint.
