Open Solicitations

Scope

Sort

Open solicitations carry no published contract value in this dataset, so they are listed by agency and due date, tagged by trade and borough where the title allows. These are open opportunities, not results. When each one is decided, the award notice names the winning contractor only, so the “Awarded” page shows who was awarded work, not who else bid.

Each row is one open City construction solicitation, sorted as selected above (default: soonest due date first). These are opportunities, not results: the dataset publishes no contract value, so each is shown by agency, due date, and the trade and borough tags inferred from its title. Notices without a countdown are standing pre-qualified lists that accept applications year-round. When a solicitation is decided, only the winning contractor is named, over on the “Awarded” page.

About this page

SERIES NOTES

Source

Open solicitation notices from Current Solicitations on NYC Open Data (dataset 3khw-qi8f), the City Record's notice of procurement opportunities, in the two construction categories, with a due date that hasn't passed. Always confirm requirements and deadlines with the issuing agency; the contact listed on each notice is the authoritative source.

Placeholder due dates

Some notices carry a due date generations out (2040, 2099, 2106, 9999). Any date more than five years ahead is read as a placeholder rather than a deadline, and what it means depends on the notice's selection method.

On a Request for Qualifications, or any method naming a pre-qualified list, the placeholder is accurate in substance: the agency accepts applications year-round, and the notice is marked a standing pre-qualified list with no countdown.

On a one-time method, a Competitive Sealed Bid above all, it is a data-entry artifact. The bid closed on a date the notice never recorded. Those are marked as having no closing date published, and are dropped from the list once they are more than a year old, since no construction bid stays open that long. The count of dropped notices is shown under the list. Reading the date alone, without the method, listed a Competitive Sealed Bid posted in 2016 as an always-open opportunity.

Where this sits in the funnel

A solicitation is the moment committed money (the “Pipeline”) reaches the market, before it becomes an award. Watching this page is watching next quarter's award flow form.

How notices are tagged

The borough and work-type labels on each notice are inferred from its title text, not separate fields in the source, so treat them as a reading aid and rely on the notice itself for scope.
