Search federal contract vehicle subcategories MCP tool

Search Federal Contract Vehicle Subcategories (FCV): GovTribe catalog records for GSA Multiple Award Schedule Special Item Numbers (MAS SINs) and other vehicle lots, pools, and lanes. The callable name Search_FCV_Subcategories is retained for compatibility.

Examples

Use this tool when the agent needs the SIN, group, pool, lane, domain, or other subdivision under a parent federal contract vehicle. Resolve the parent vehicle first when the question names a vehicle such as SEWP V, MAS, OASIS+, or another master vehicle.
