Acquisition.gov Forecast Directory
Official directory of agency acquisition-forecast publishing locations.
Source, grain and coverage
Acquisition.gov Forecast Directory ↗
Tracks source locations. Inclusion in this directory does not establish forecast-record collection for every linked agency.
Captured directory memberships include source retrieval evidence and an explicit complete/partial capture state. A directory refresh does not certify every linked agency collector. Pending-review and disabled feeds remain independently controlled.
Collection schedule: Weekly.
This source identifies publishing locations. It does not establish complete record collection for every listed agency.
Definitions audited . Use source status and the returned watermarks to inspect current collection health.

The primary dataset is forecast_source_directory. Select another dataset from this source with dataset_id. Supported field names can be used as exact filters; the versioned query endpoint also supports declared ranges and list operators.
Through canonical /mcp, use govbiz_discover_datasets, govbiz_describe_dataset, govbiz_search_records, and govbiz_get_evidence. Cross-source relationships use govbiz_get_related_records and require access to every involved domain.

forecast_source_directory · Schema 1
One retained publishing-location registration per id, optionally scoped by captured membership in the requested directory; metadata membership does not establish collection of its content.
Search modes: structured, lexical. History: Current retained projection; exact historical reconstruction is unsupported.
Measures: record_count. Monetary values use decimal strings with declared units. Unknown amounts do not become zero.
