Before you use it
Limits that matter
The official documentation distinguishes Public, FOUO, and Sensitive data and says public access requires an appropriate SAM.gov account/API key; do not assume private contact, banking, or tax fields are publicly available.; U.S. federal procurement entities and their registered physical/mailing details; it is not a general worldwide startup/company database.; Represents SAM registrations and entity information as maintained in the system; registration status and fields can change, so consumers need refreshes rather than a one-time snapshot.
