Procurement
Solicitations, awards and the competition record that has to survive a protest.
Public procurement is a documented process before it is a purchase. The requirement, the solicitation, the responses, the evaluation and the award each have to be recorded in a way that stands up if an unsuccessful bidder protests.
This page holds each stage with its dates, its documents and its decisions, so the file is complete at the moment of award rather than assembled afterwards.
Where everything sits
How to work this page
What is being bought, against which appropriation, and whether funds are available. An award against unavailable funds is a violation before it is a purchase.
Sealed bid, competitive proposal, or sole source. Sole source carries a justification field that is required rather than optional, because that is the one that gets challenged.
Received time is recorded to the minute. A late bid is marked late at receipt and not judged on it afterwards.
Scoring uses the criteria as published. The evaluation record shows each evaluator, each score, and the basis, which is exactly what a protest examines.
The award encumbers the funds immediately, so the budget shows the commitment rather than waiting for an invoice.
On a phone
Every figure from the desktop appears here, stacked rather than reduced. Tables scroll inside themselves so the page never moves sideways, and figures keep their separators and their alignment at every width.
Questions people actually ask
The complete file for that procurement exports as a single record with every document, timestamp and evaluation intact. Nothing is reconstructed.
Yes. Your dollar thresholds determine which method is permitted, and choosing a method below the required threshold for the amount is refused with the threshold named.
