Track Agency Purchasing Trends

Ever wished you had an at-a-glance, year-over-year summary of when government agencies have made the most purchases, and what types of products and services they've bought?

Onvia's Agency Overview charts give you that visibility into agencies' procurement activities. With these charts, you can...

• Qualify the agencies you're interested in working with
• See agencies' purchasing trends in your industry
• Forecast when these agencies are more likely to issue the most bids and RFPs in the coming year.

The charts are included on each Agency Details page in the Onvia Online Database.

The Total Purchases chart displays the number of bids and RFPs the agency has issued each month over the past two years, which can help you better understand its purchasing tendencies.

The Purchases by Industry chart shows which categories of products and services have been procured most often during the past 24 months, so you can identify the agency's priorities and most pressing needs.

The Agency Details pages also contain a wealth of other valuable information about agencies, including...

• Their annual expenditures, populations served, and number of employees
• Links to their procurement histories, which you can use to research their past purchases, contract awards and incumbent vendors
• Directories of decision makers and purchasing staff along with contact information
• Links to information and forms that you'll need if you want to bid on the agencies' contracts
