## What it returns

Bid solicitations, intents to award and contract awards published by city, county and state governments, in one schema: notice id, type, title, description, agency, category, procurement method, status, posted and due dates, awarded vendor and amount, and a link to the notice.

Search by keyword, agency, category, vendor, method, notice type, open solicitations only, minimum award amount and posting date, newest, due soonest or largest first. Or group the matches to get counts and award totals by vendor, agency, category or year.

Sources: the New York City Record procurement section (all city agencies, solicitations and awards with vendor and amount, from 2003), the State of Delaware's open and recently closed bids, Montgomery County MD solicitations, the City of Los Angeles RAMP portal and the City of Mesa AZ, rebuilt daily from each government's open data portal. Contact names, emails and phone numbers are not included.

Charged per notice or total returned.
