Upcoming Contracts to be Awarded (CAP): NYC School Construction Projects

Projects listed are scheduled to complete design within six months of the dataset's last update on May 8, 2026. The dataset tracks upcoming New York City school construction projects managed by the School Construction Authority (SCA), detailing their budget, size, and location. It is intended to signal upcoming public procurement opportunities for contractors and vendors.

Use Cases

• Identifying upcoming public bid opportunities using Upcoming Project Name and Upcoming Project Status.
• Assessing project scale and potential contract value using Upcoming Project Budget Range, Upcoming Project Seat Count, and Upcoming Project Square Footage.
• Prioritizing outreach by geographic market using Upcoming Project Borough and Upcoming Project Geographic District.
• Planning resource allocation based on project timelines using Upcoming Project Design Completion Date.

Strengths

• Provides a forward-looking pipeline of public projects with a clear temporal scope: projects completing design within six months.
• Contains specific, actionable project details like budget ranges, seat counts, and square footage.
• Dataset is maintained by an authoritative source, the City of New York, and is hosted on multiple public data platforms.

Limitations

• Key metadata is missing or conflicting: row counts, file sizes, and specific license information are not provided across sources.
• The 'last updated' date (May 8, 2026) is in the future relative to the current date, casting doubt on the accuracy of this timestamp.
• One platform (datagov) lists no column names, indicating potential metadata incompleteness on some distribution channels.
