samwise

Description

Ruby access to the SAM.gov API.

Usage

To get started, you'll need an API key from https://api.data.gov.

Configuration

Set the api.data.gov API key as the environment variable 'DATA_DOT_GOV_API_KEY' or pass the key as an argument:

require 'samwise'

client = Samwise::Client.new(api_key: 'my key ...')

# if you set the 'DATA_DOT_GOV_API_KEY' env var, just use:
client = Samwise::Client.new

Get summary info in a single request

client.get_vendor_summary(duns: '080037478')
#=>
{
  in_sam: true,
  small_business: true
}

Note: the definition of small_business is IT-centric.

See Verify Vendor is a small business for the list of NAICS codes uses to check if some a vendor is a small business.

Verify DUNS number is in SAM.gov

client.duns_is_in_sam?(duns: '080037478')
#=> true

Verify Vendor is not on the excluded parties list

client.excluded?(duns: '080037478')
#=> false

Verify Vendor is a small business

client.small_business?(duns: '080037478')
#=> false

This method checks against the following NAICS codes:

511210
541511
541512
541519
334614

What is a NAICS code?

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is used by businesses and governments to classify and measure economic activity in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. NAICS is 6-digit code system that is currently the standard used by federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments.

(source: http://siccode.com/en/pages/what-is-a-naics-code)

The whitelisted NAICS codes classify companies that offer IT or related services.

Get DUNS info

duns_info = client.get_duns_info(duns: '080037478')

Validate the format of a DUNS number

This does not need an API key and makes no network calls.

Samwise::Util.duns_is_properly_formatted?(duns: '88371771')
#=> true

Samwise::Util.duns_is_properly_formatted?(duns: '883717717')
#=> true

Samwise::Util.duns_is_properly_formatted?(duns: '0223841150000')
#=> true

Samwise::Util.duns_is_properly_formatted?(duns: '08-011-5718')
#=> true

Samwise::Util.duns_is_properly_formatted?(duns: 'abc1234567')
#=> false

Samwise::Util.duns_is_properly_formatted?(duns: '1234567891234567890')
#=> false

Format a DUNS number

This removes any hyphens and appends 0s where appropriate (does not need an API key and makes no network calls):

Samwise::Util.format_duns(duns: '08-011-5718')
#=> "0801157180000"

duns can be a 7, 8, 9, or 13 digit number (hyphens are removed):

If it is 7 digits, 00 is prepended, and 0000 is added to the end.
If it is 8 digits, 0 is prepended, and 0000 is added to the end.
If it is 9 digits, 0000 is added to the end.
If it is 13 digits, the number is unchanged.

Check status in SAM.gov

There is a web form where anyone can enter a DUNS number to get its status within SAM.gov: https://www.sam.gov/sam/helpPage/SAM_Reg_Status_Help_Page.html.

This form uses an undocumented/unpublished JSON endpoint. This gem provides Ruby access to that endpoint.

This does not require an api.data.gov API key, but it will make a network call to the above URL.

The SAM.gov status web form hard codes what appears to be an API key. That key is used by default in this gem. However, you may supply your own (also tell us where you got it!).

client = Samwise::Client.new(sam_status_key:  'optional')
client.get_sam_status(duns: '08-011-5718')

#=> {
  "Message" => "Request for registration information forbidden",
  "Code" => 403,
  "Error" => ""
}

client.get_sam_status(duns: )

Install

In your Gemfile:

gem 'samwise', github: '18f/samwise'

Coming Soon

$ gem install samwise

Command Line Interface

The samwise gem can be run via command line via a piped in file or with a file input flag.

To make the gem executable run gem install samwise which calls makes the contents of the bin directory executable in the gemspec.

Input Format

The CLI expects a .json with the following schema:

{"users":[{"other_keys": "other_values", "duns":"duns_number"}]}

If the JSON does not include a "duns" key, the CLI will abort.

The JSON can be piped in or fed in from a file via a -i flag. For example:

cat "input_file.json" | samwise verify > output.json
samwise verify -i "input_file.json" > output.json

Output

The CLI will output a JSON to STDOUT with an addition key to be determined by the method run (see below for reference).
