SUCF RFQ Responders: Design Firm Qualifications Since 2000

Beginning in 2000, this dataset lists design firms that submitted qualifications for design procurements managed by the New York State University Construction Fund (SUCF). It includes firm contact details, project information, and geospatial references for capital construction projects across SUNY campuses. The data is available in multiple formats and is published on several government open data platforms.

Use Cases

• Mapping vendor locations and project sites using Georeference, City, and State columns.
• Analyzing firm participation by campus using Campus Name and Project Title columns.
• Tracking procurement timelines using the Contract Advertise Date column.
• Identifying firms for specific project types using the Project and Project Title columns.

Strengths

• Provides a long-term view of procurement activity with data beginning in the year 2000.
• Includes geospatial annotations (Georeference) and links to municipal boundaries, enhancing spatial analysis potential.
• Is published on multiple government data platforms (Socrata, Data.gov), indicating official status and broad accessibility.

Limitations

• Key metadata is inconsistent or missing across sources: row counts, file sizes, and license information are all listed as unknown or None.
• The last updated date shows a significant conflict, with one source listing 2026-05-01 (a future date) and another 2026-04-04, casting doubt on data freshness and update processes.
• One platform (Data.gov) lists column names as unknown, limiting the ability to fully assess the data structure from that source.
