- Get Contract Vehicles
Retrieve federal multi-award contract vehicles from HigherGov. Contract vehicles are pre-established contracting mechanisms that streamline procurement. Use this to list available vehicles with optional filtering by vehicle key and sorting by award date. Supports pagination with up to 100 records per page. Updated ad hoc as new awards are made.
- Get Documents
Retrieve document metadata and download URLs for files associated with government opportunities, contracts, and grants from HigherGov. **When to use:** After calling Get Opportunities, Get Contracts, or Get Grants, use this tool to fetch the actual documents (RFPs, amendments, attachments, etc.) associated with those records. **How to use:** 1. First call Get Opportunities, Get Contracts, or Get Grants 2. Extract the 'document_path' field from the response 3. Parse the 'related_key' parameter from that document_path URL 4. Pass that related_key to this tool to retrieve the documents **Important notes:** - Download URLs expire after 60 minutes; retrieve new URLs by calling this endpoint again - Some opportunities/contracts/grants may have no associated documents (returns empty results) - Results are paginated; use page and page_size parameters for large document sets
- Get Grant History
Tool to fetch historical data on grants from the HigherGov API. REQUIRED: At least one filter parameter (award_id or last_modified_date) must be provided. Use cases: - Retrieve history for a specific grant by award_id - Retrieve grants modified since a specific date using last_modified_date - Paginate through results using page and page_size parameters
