Dataco Bids

Connect Dataco Bids to ChatGPT

A no-code way to find open federal bids in your commodity areas. Set it up once, then just chat — ask "find me open bids over $2k in my FSCs" and get open DLA DIBBS solicitations, closing soonest, with the per-unit quote that clears the $2,000 floor.

Public U.S. government procurement data (DLA DIBBS, SAM.gov, USAspending). No CUI.

The ChatGPT path

Recommended · no code

You'll create a private Custom GPT with an Action. The API key is baked into the Action by the builder, so whoever uses the GPT does zero setup — they just ask questions.

Create the GPT (ChatGPT Plus)

1
Explore GPTs → Create
In ChatGPT, open the sidebar → Explore GPTs → + Create → the Configure tab.
2
Name it and paste the instructions
Name it Dataco Bids — Federal Bid Finder and paste the system instruction from the setup guide into Instructions. It bakes in your FSC defaults; the TCV threshold is open-ended — you name your own dollar floor, or none at all.
3
Add an Action → Import the schema
Under Actions → Create new action, click Import from URL and paste the OpenAPI URL above. Four actions appear: findOpenRfqs, findAwardHistory, findOpportunities, findAssistance.
4
Set Authentication = API Key
Choose API Key. Custom Header Name: X-Api-Key. Paste your adm_live_… key. Save.
5
Save — then just chat
Create/Update (keep it Only me). The key lives inside the Action; anyone you share the GPT with just asks questions.

Try it

"Find me open bids over $5,000 in my FSCs."

The GPT calls /bids/rfq with your FSC list and min_tcv=5000, then lists the solicitations closing soonest with each item's per-unit quote at your $5,000 threshold. Leave off min_tcv entirely and it returns every open RFQ, no dollar floor.

Enterprise / Team workspace

The steps are identical, with two differences: the GPT must be created inside your organization's ChatGPT Enterprise/Team workspace by an admin (so it becomes a governed workspace GPT, with the key under your org's control), and published to the workspace instead of "Only me."

For your security review: every endpoint returns public government procurement data — DLA DIBBS postings, SAM.gov notices, USAspending records. No CUI or ITAR. Auth is a single read-only X-Api-Key over HTTPS, scoped to the fin-sector bidding datasets only; revoke it any time in the Dataco console and the GPT stops working. Details are in the setup guide.

For developers

Prefer to wire it into your own tools? The same key works everywhere. Authenticate with the X-Api-Key header.

REST API (curl)

Every query is a plain GET.

curl -H "X-Api-Key: adm_live_…" \
  "https://www.agenticdatamining.ai/api/bids/rfq?fsc=8010,8030,8040,6830,6850,9150&limit=10"

# Optional: name your own TCV floor -- min_tcv is open-ended, no default.
curl -H "X-Api-Key: adm_live_…" \
  "https://www.agenticdatamining.ai/api/bids/rfq?fsc=8010,8030,8040,6830,6850,9150&min_tcv=5000&limit=10"
