How It Works​

  1. Resolves the company via SAM.gov entity registration (by domain)
  2. Searches USAspending.gov subaward records for the company
  3. Identifies relationships both as a prime contractor (who they subcontract to) and as a subcontractor (who hires them)
  4. Aggregates by partner with contract counts and total values

Use Cases​

  • Identifying teaming partners for government proposals
  • Understanding prime/sub relationships in government contracting
  • Competitive intelligence on government deal structures
  • Mapping the ecosystem around a government contractor

Example Usage​

Basic relationship lookup​

{
  "tool": "company_gov_relationships",
  "parameters": {
    "companyDomain": "boozallen.com"
  }
}

Response Format​

The tool returns a structured JSON response with:

  • companyName, companyDomain
