Federal Government Contracts by CNPJ — Brazil

Look up active and historical federal government contracts for Brazilian companies by CNPJ. Each contract found becomes one row in the Dataset.

Pricing: US$0.01 per contract delivered. The same company with 10 contracts = 10 rows = 10 charges. Invalid CNPJs or CNPJs with no contracts produce no row and no charge.

• Accepts one or many CNPJs (with or without punctuation)
• Deduplicates input CNPJs
• Delivers both active and historical contracts
• One row per contract, identical to the public source (unmasked, no fields omitted)

Output

Each contract actually delivered takes one row in the Dataset, with all fields from the public source, unmasked. Nested 1:1 objects from the source (fornecedor / supplier, unidadeGestora / managing unit, compra / purchase) stay nested. Ten contracts for the same company = ten rows, not a single contratos[] array.

Pricing: US$0.01 per contract. 10 contracts for the same company = 10 rows = 10 charges.

FAQ

Which CNPJs return contracts? Only companies that hold or held a federal government contract published on Brazil's Portal da Transparência. Most private companies with no government business will return zero rows.

Are the values masked or redacted? No — every field is delivered exactly as published by the public source, including supplier name and CNPJ.

Can I look up many CNPJs at once? Yes, up to 1,000 CNPJs per run; duplicates are merged automatically.
