NYC Government Contracts & Procurement - Awards & Solicitations

New York City's own procurement register: ~53,900 contract awards and ~45,300 open solicitations from the Office of Citywide Procurement, plus the historical bid tabulations. Who the city awarded, to which vendor, for how much - and what is open for bids right now, and until when.

Low cost

From $0.00005 per record, down to $0.00003 at Gold. Pay only for the records you actually receive - the whole register stays queryable, and you are never billed for the scan behind it.

Three registers, one shape

• awards (default) - contracts NYC has awarded: agency, vendor, amount, PIN, selection method, start date. ~53,900 awards back to 2003.
• solicitations - open requests for bids and proposals: agency, category, the PIN, and the response due date. ~45,300 notices.
• bids - the bid tabulations: which bidder priced which line item and at what price. 57,704 lines. This table is frozen - its most recent bid dates to 2021 and it was last updated in 2023; it is a historical pricing register.

Find awards and opportunities

• Agency - agency="Parks", "Police", "Sanitation".
• Vendor - vendor="Dell" (awards only).
• Category - category is one of 6 (Goods, Services, Construction ).
• Method - selectionMethod="Sole Source", "Request for Proposals".
• When - dateFrom / dateTo (start), dueFrom / dueTo (deadline).
• How much - minAmount / maxAmount (awards).

{ "corpus": "solicitations", "category": "Construction/Construction Services",
  "dueFrom": "2026-11-01", "maxResults": 50 }

{ "corpus": "awards", "vendor": "Dell", "minAmount": 100000, "maxResults": 50 }

Look up one notice

mode=record returns a single notice by its request id (or the bid number for the bids corpus):

{ "mode": "record", "requestId": "20261005010" }

Or roll it up

mode=aggregate returns one count row per group - agency, category, selection method or year. Every group comes back; this mode is not cut off by maxResults.

{ "corpus": "awards", "aggregate": true, "groupBy": "agency" }

Citywide Administrative Services                13,350
Health and Mental Hygiene                        5,368
Dept. of Social Svcs/Human Resources Administration   4,353

Notes on the data, from the source

• One row = one procurement notice (one award or one solicitation). The request id is unique on each table.
• A solicitation has no vendor yet - that is why vendor applies to awards only; ask for it against solicitations and the actor says so rather than returning nothing.
• The award amount is populated on ~15% of solicitations (an estimate) and on most awards. Blank means the source did not state one.
• due_date is blank when the source has no deadline (the source stores a far-future placeholder such as 2099-12-31); it is never shown as a real date, and a dueFrom / dueTo filter excludes those open-ended records.
• The event-location columns in the source are empty on essentially every row, so they are not published. The real submission address is addressToRequest, present on 96% of solicitations.
• The registers refresh daily. Awards and solicitations go back to 2003; the bid tabulations stopped in 2023.
