Public Works and Government Services Canada - 2015-03-31

On April 1, 2015, Public Works and Government Services Canada will update its presence on the Government of Canada’s Open Data portal. None of the changes will impact the data in PWGSC’s Tender Notices, Contract History, Goods and Services Identification Number, and Standing Offers and Supply Arrangements datasets found at the Government of Canada Open Data Portal. Nevertheless, we will remove some files and update the Procurement Data Dictionary. A complete list of the changes coming April 1, 2015 is available on Buyandsell.gc.ca: https://buyandsell.gc.ca/updates-to-pwgsc-procurement-data-on-the-open-data-portal

Excellent tool for both Contracting Officers looking for existing SOA/SA agreements that could be replicated in their region as well as managers, looking for new sources of supply that have already been tendered..

The Standing Offers and Supply Arrangements (SOSA) database is undergoing scheduled maintenance. Due to this maintenance, we are unable to release new SOSA records this week. The current file will contain the same active records that were released in the April 8, 2016 SOSA open data file, and any expired records will be removed. The regular weekly publication of new SOSA records will resume on April 22, 2016. On this date, the SOSA open data file will contain new standing offer and supply arrangement records, with expired records removed.

On Wednesday, June 22, 2016, important updates were made to our open data files. The "End of feed" line was removed from the data files and a “Date file published" column was added. The new “Date file published” column indicates the date (YYYY-MM-DD) and time that the data file was generated.
