search_grants_and_procurement

MIXED search across all 18,726 opportunities from 583 sources — combines grants AND procurement/contracts in one query. This mixes funding types which can create noisy results. ROUTING — use the specialized tool instead: • User wants grants/funding/fellowships/prizes → search_grantsplus • User wants contracts/RFPs/procurement/bids → search_procurement • User explicitly wants BOTH types → search_grants_and_procurement • Intent unclear → ASK the user first Use search_grantsplus or search_procurement for cleaner, more relevant results. Free tier: 10 searches/month, up to 10 results each. Paid: full results, up to 100 per search.

Use this FIRST to check what the user already has before creating or updating searches. Response includes remaining slots and plan info. Requires Plus ($29/mo) or Pro ($79/mo) subscription.

No parameters.

save_search

Save a search query for email alerts. When new opportunities match, the user receives daily or weekly email notifications. RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW: 1. Call list_saved_searches first to check for existing/similar searches 2. If a similar search exists, offer to update_saved_search instead 3. Search with search_grantsplus or search_procurement first to validate the query returns good results 4. Save with appropriate filters based on what the user described FILTER TIPS: - Use itemTypes ["grant"] for grants/fellowships or ["procurement"] for contracts/RFPs - Use sourceTypes ["federal"] for federal opportunities only - Use geography ["CA"] for California-specific (includes national opportunities) - For SAM.gov-specific filters (NAICS, set-asides), use sourceContext - Keep filters broad for notifications - better to get a few extra than miss one PLAN LIMITS: Plus ($29/mo): 5 searches, weekly alerts. Pro ($79/mo): 25 searches, daily alerts.

querystringrequired
Search query to save (e.g. "clean energy research grants", "IT services federal contracts")

cadencestring
Alert frequency. daily requires Pro plan. never = save the search without email alerts. Default: weekly

Parameters (1)

idnumberrequired
Saved search ID (from list_saved_searches)

update_saved_search

MODIFIABLE FIELDS: query, name, filters (same schema as save_search), cadence (weekly/daily/never), hidelow (quality filter), emailEnabled (on/off) TIP: Call list_saved_searches first to see the current settings, then update only the fields that need to change. The response confirms what was updated.

Parameters (7)

idnumberrequired
Saved search ID to update
querystring
New search query text
namestring
New friendly name
filtersobject
New filters (same schema as save_search filters). Replaces all existing filters.
