Open Procure is an online open data repository of government purchasing information across the United States.
Our goal is to make municipal, county-level, state and federal purchasing easily accessible for everyone. It is where government officials, technologists, and active citizens can work together to make our purchasing processes more transparent.
See it live at http://openprocure.us/
We welcome your help! There are several ways you can contribute:
- Use Open Procure! The more people use the information, the better.
- Search for new agency thresholds and add data to Open Procure
- Verify existing data and create a GitHub issue if you find a mistake
- Propose changes to the site or data by creating a pull request
Visit our GitHub Issues page to see a list of open actionable items to fix on the site.
We have a feature roadmap page. Feature/ideas can be added there.
Procurement thresholds are not easily accessible through government websites. Here are some tips on finding them.
To be written
Edit data/procurement.yaml directly on GitHub. When you submit your changes, GitHub will automatically create a pull request. After the team merges it, the live website will be updated automatically. It takes about 1 min and you need to refresh your browser, but it is really that simple. No further action required.
Always include a link to source of the procurement thresholds you are adding to make future verification easy.
Make sure you append the page number at the end. If I wanted to add a link to page 2 of this PDF, I would add a #page=2 at the end of the URL. e.g. http://www.publishers.org.uk/_resources/assets/attachment/full/0/2091.pdf#page=2
The website is hosted on GitHub pages. The static HTML pages are in the gh-pages branch.
The website is generated using the Middleman tool. The Middleman template is in the master branch.
- Clone repository
- Install ruby and bundler for your system

Open your browser to http://localhost:4567 or http://127.0.0.1:4567
