Colombia SECOP II Energy & Fuel Radar

Encuentra oportunidades de contratación pública de energía y combustibles en Colombia y detecta contratos próximos a vencer antes de que aparezca la siguiente licitación.

Colombia SECOP II Energy & Fuel Radar monitorea datos oficiales de SECOP II y entrega dos tipos de señales:

• LIVE_TENDER — procesos de contratación actualmente abiertos para presentar ofertas.
• EARLY_EXPIRY_SIGNAL — contratos activos próximos a vencer, útiles para anticipar posibles nuevas licitaciones o recontrataciones.

Precio: $0.10 por ejecución.
No se cobra por número de resultados.

When no relevant procurement record is new or updated, the Actor returns one RUN_STATUS record confirming that SECOP II was checked successfully. This is a monitoring status, not a synthetic procurement opportunity.

Why use this Radar?

Instead of only searching for tenders that are already published, the Radar answers two different commercial questions:

1. What can I bid for now? — LIVE_TENDER
2. What opportunity may appear next? — EARLY_EXPIRY_SIGNAL

This helps suppliers monitor current opportunities while also preparing earlier for potential re-tenders.

Data sources

Official Colombia open-data datasets on datos.gov.co / SECOP II:

• p6dx-8zbt — LIVE procurement processes.
• jbjy-vk9h — contracts used for EARLY expiry signals.

Energy scope

The Radar focuses on energy and fuels:

• V1.1510% — fuels and related products.
• V1.1511% — gaseous fuels and related products.
• V1.831016% — oil and gas utilities.
• V1.831018% — electric utilities.
• V1.831019% — energy conservation.

Water and sewer utilities (V1.831015%) are excluded.

Change detection

The Actor keeps persistent state and emits procurement records only when they are NEW or UPDATED.

Unchanged opportunities are suppressed to reduce duplicate output.

State is committed only after Dataset output succeeds. This provides at-least-once delivery semantics: a failed Dataset write will not silently mark a procurement signal as already delivered.

If nothing changed, the Actor writes one:

RUN_STATUS = SUCCESS_NO_CHANGES

This confirms that the monitoring check completed successfully.

Input

• fetchLive — enable LIVE_TENDER monitoring.
• fetchEarly — enable EARLY_EXPIRY_SIGNAL monitoring.
• windowMinDays — minimum number of days to contract end for EARLY signals.
• windowMaxDays — maximum number of days to contract end for EARLY signals.

The default input monitors both streams and uses a 30–90 day EARLY monitoring window.

Important output fields

• recordType — PROCUREMENT_SIGNAL or RUN_STATUS.
• signalType — LIVE_TENDER, EARLY_EXPIRY_SIGNAL, or RUN_STATUS.
• changeType — NEW, UPDATED, or UNCHANGED for status records.
• buyerName / buyerId — contracting entity.
• category — SECOP source classification code.
• value — source-reported procurement or contract value in COP when available.
• valueStatus — AVAILABLE, ZERO_OR_NOT_DISCLOSED, or MISSING.
• deadline / daysToDeadline — timing for LIVE opportunities.
• contractEnd / daysToEnd — timing for EARLY signals.
• nextAction — recommended monitoring action.
• sourceUrl — direct SECOP source link.
• retrievedAt — time when the source was checked.

Typical use cases

• Fuel and lubricant suppliers
• Electricity and energy service providers
• Oil and gas suppliers
• Public procurement monitoring teams
• Tender intelligence and business development teams
• Companies preparing for upcoming re-tenders
• Sales teams tracking Colombian public-sector buyers

Pricing

$0.10 per Actor run.

Platform usage is included in the Actor price.

The number of Dataset records does not increase the event price. A successful run costs the same whether it finds multiple new signals or only returns a RUN_STATUS confirming that no opportunities changed.

Limitations

• The Radar currently operates at process level and does not synthesize artificial lots.
• A source-reported value of 0 is preserved as value: 0 and labeled valueStatus: ZERO_OR_NOT_DISCLOSED. Verify the SECOP source before treating it as a true zero-value procurement.
• Some contract records do not expose a reliable source update timestamp, so sourceUpdatedAt may be null.
• Coverage reflects SECOP II open data and should not be interpreted as complete coverage of every Colombian energy-sector procurement process, including procurement conducted through separate corporate portals.
• Source availability, schema changes, or rate limits on datos.gov.co can affect individual runs.

Source and transparency

The Radar uses official Colombian public procurement/open-data sources and retains source identifiers and SECOP links whenever available so users can verify opportunities against the original record.
