BUG - awarding_agency parameter doesn't support abbreviations despite docs

Summary

The awarding_agency parameter on /api/contracts/ does not accept agency abbreviations (VA, DOD, DHS), despite documentation listing them as examples.

Documentation

description: 'Filter by awarding agency. Examples: GSA, DOD, DHS, etc..'

Actual Behavior

Input	Result
awarding_agency=VA	0 results
awarding_agency=DOD	0 results
awarding_agency=3600	583,359 results ✓
awarding_agency=Department of Veterans Affairs	583,359 results ✓

Impact

Users following the documented examples get 0 results, causing confusion.

Suggested Fix

Either:

1. Update docs to show working examples: "Examples: 3600, Department of Veterans Affairs"
2. Or add support for common abbreviations (VA, DOD, DHS, GSA, etc.)

Thanks @MikeC-A6! This is super useful and timely. I'm working on some potential fixes for agencies this week and next...
