WorldMonitor separates open opportunities from historical recent awards. Open opportunities live in the dedicated Global Procurement panel as a forward-looking, seed-backed feed; awards remain sourced from USASpending in the Economic panel. Global Procurement is a Pro feature. The panel shows the standard sign-in or upgrade gate to free users, and the RPC independently enforces an active tier-1 subscription server-side. The browser only requests and retains tender data while Pro access is active; sign-out or downgrade clears both the panel payload and its in-memory response cache. Recent awards remain part of the free Economic panel behavior. Pro users can search titles and descriptions, filter by buyer, two-letter country code, and source, choose a supported sort, and page through the complete result set. The panel never reads Upstash directly: it calls the paginated RPC, which reads the canonical seeded snapshot.

Coverage and freshness

The initial adapters read official public procurement sources:
SourceCoverageNotes
SAM.govUnited StatesRequires the deployment’s SAM_GOV_API_KEY; an unconfigured adapter is reported as unavailable, not as zero results.
TEDEuropean UnionPublished public procurement notices from the public TED Search API.
Contracts FinderUnited KingdomPublished OCDS tender releases.
CanadaBuysCanadaOfficial federal open-tender CSV, refreshed daily by CanadaBuys.
GETSNew Zealand / OceaniaCurrent open tenders from the official public GETS RSS feed.
World Bank Procurement NoticesMultilateral / globalWorld Bank-financed opportunity notices across borrower countries.
The Railway seeder runs hourly and stores a canonical snapshot at economic:global-tenders:v1. Its TTL is three hours so the prior successful snapshot survives a missed run. If one adapter fails, healthy-source results remain available, that source’s last-good records are retained, and the response reports availability: "partial". If every adapter fails, the previous records remain available with availability: "stale". availability has five meanings:
  • available: all configured adapters succeeded and returned one or more notices.
  • empty: configured adapters succeeded but returned no notices.
  • partial: at least one adapter is unavailable or failed while another succeeded.
  • stale: all current source attempts failed, so retained last-good records are being served.
  • unavailable: no fresh canonical snapshot is available.
Per-source state, record counts, retrieval-attempt time, last-success time, and stale flag are included in the feed response. Every per-source seed key is independently registered in /api/health. Unsupported country filters are never treated as a confirmed zero-result source.

Deployment configuration

Only the U.S. SAM.gov adapter needs a new credential:
  1. Sign in to SAM.gov, open Account Details, and enter your account password to view the API-key controls.
  2. Request a Public API Key. SAM.gov displays the generated key on the Account Details page.
  3. Add it to the Railway service running node scripts/seed-bundle-relay-backup.mjs as SAM_GOV_API_KEY. Do not expose it through a VITE_ variable or commit it to the repository.
The official setup and request-limit details are in the GSA Get Opportunities Public API guide. TED, Contracts Finder, CanadaBuys, GETS, and World Bank do not require API keys. If SAM_GOV_API_KEY is absent, only the SAM source reports unavailable; the other adapters continue normally.

​
API

GET /api/economic/v1/list-global-tenders is Pro-gated, deliberately paginated, and is not part of the bootstrap payload. It supports country, repeated countries, region, source, status, buyer, published_from, published_to, deadline_from, deadline_to, min_value, max_value, currency, category, query, page_size, cursor, and sort. Supported sorts are newest, closing_soon, estimated_value, and relevance. page_size is bounded to 100. The response includes applied filters, a cursor, snapshot time, availability, and source-health summaries. Every record contains a stable WorldMonitor ID (source:sourceNoticeId), its official notice URL, source notice ID, typed money fields when supplied, source timestamps, category data, and a provenance-preserving source name. Missing upstream fields remain absent rather than being inferred.

Technology relevance

automationFit is a transparent keyword-based relevance signal for software, AI, data, cybersecurity, automation, cloud, and related terms. It contains a score, classification version, match reasons, and text evidence. It is not a legal or procurement-eligibility determination: participationMode remains unknown unless an upstream source explicitly supports it. The dashboard renders official notice links only after URL sanitization and exposes the relevance reason alongside the source-provided opportunity details.
