GovGazette: federal contract research with sources
Find federal opportunities, research awards and vendors, and review exclusion evidence in your AI assistant. Public research is free and needs no GovGazette account or API key.
Watch a short ChatGPT demo showing source-backed opportunity research.
Set up your agent
Choose your agent below. For clients that ask for a server address, use https://govgazette.com/mcp with Streamable HTTP and no authentication.
Current tools and schemas: live MCP catalog.
The portable plugin package includes a guided first research workflow, contract research and exclusion review. Its 17 operations are individually described in the live catalog. Public research works without an account; private saved-search operations require a separate authenticated workspace.
Public setup recipes are not proof of a provider-curated listing. See distribution and review status for verified routes and the ChatGPT publication boundary.
The client verification record distinguishes observed native research from setup recipes and current-protocol SDK checks. The OpenAI review package preserves the existing app identity separately from the portable package.
When editing a configuration file, merge the GovGazette entry with your existing settings. Reload the client and enable its tools for your conversation.

Try it
Find three active software notices in industry 541512. Research one, cite its official source and date, and check whether the response deadline is still open.
You can also ask your agent to research a vendor by its Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), explain an industry code, or review a possible exclusion match.
Save a search
Create a private workspace to follow changes in an inbox or feed. To manage saved searches through an agent, store your workspace key in the client’s secret-header settings as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_WORKSPACE_KEY. Keep it out of prompts and shared configuration files.
Research with care
Check the official source and its date. An active notice can have a deadline that has passed. Similar awards do not establish an incumbent, and an exclusion search does not determine eligibility. Consult official attachments for complete solicitation requirements. GovGazette is independent of the U.S. government.
