Socrata is a Seattle-based cloud software company, focused exclusively on democratizing access to government data. We help public sector organizations improve transparency, citizen service and fact-based decision-making by efficiently delivering data to citizens, employees and developers in a user-friendly experience on web, mobile and machine-to-machine interfaces. Innovators like the World Bank, Medicare, Data.gov, EnergyStar, New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Oregon and Maryland, have all chosen Socrata for its turnkey and low-cost cloud delivery of easy-to-use open data products. Socrata’s toolkit goes well beyond creating data catalogues. The company’s products are designed to support a lively ecosystem around open data. For example, every data set on Socrata is API-enabled with accompanying documentation, allowing developers and entrepreneurs to query data sets easily to create apps. Meanwhile, citizens, researchers, and journalists can search for the information they want without filling out a F.O.I.A. request or digging through papers. They can easily create digital visualizations, such as map mashups, charts, and graphs, with data. These same citizens then embed their creations on another website, where the data included will refresh automatically. And, they can give feedback to the agency hosting the data about their experience, creating a full feedback loop between citizens and government. In addition, Socrata GovStat combines openly accessible government data and a drag-and-drop report-creation tool, Socrata DataSlate, to offer an efficient way for government agencies to track their progress against goals and engage with the public about the results. Designed by former Director of Maryland StateStat, Beth Blauer, GovStat is transforming the cost and effectiveness of government performance management.

The General Services Administration’s (GSA) IT Schedule 70 is an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) multiple award schedule that allows federal, state, local and tribal government entities to procure technology products and services from more than 5,000 pre-vetted vendors--many of which are small businesses.

Agencies that use IT Schedule 70 benefit from:
- Competitive prices and discounts- GSA negotiates its fair and reasonable prices based on the aggregated buying power of the federal government.
- Flexible contracting and streamlined ordering- IT Schedule 70 saves you time by delivering combined synopses and solicitations, as well as making it easier for you to meet Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) requirements. Schedules accept purchase cards and allow task orders and blanket purchase agreements (BPAs).
- Value-added services - A team of business management specialists, technical analysts, and contracting officers work closely with customer agencies to ensure best value, technical accuracy, and compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 8.4 for all procurements. Customers can request Statement of Work and technical requirements reviews.
Customer agencies that use IT Schedule 70 can purchase directly through GSA Advantage!, submit an RFI or RFQ through GSA’s eBuy, or conduct market research prior to making a purchase by using GSA’s eLibrary. The steps for procuring technology products or services through IT Schedule 70 varies based on the dollar amount, in accordance with FAR Part 8.4.
