Pursuits — Core vs. Reach

Same data as everywhere else on this page, split by fit: what Brawner normally bids vs. federal work worth stretching for.

Core — state & county work

Montgomery, Baltimore Co./City, eMMA

3,609 contracts tracked

This is Brawner's usual lane — county and state general contracting, the same relationships and procurement offices you already know. Montgomery County's feed is genuinely current; Baltimore County and City need the caveats noted below before you rely on their numbers.

Jump to county sources → local, familiar

Reach — federal work

SAM.gov + USASpending, MD/DC/VA

337+ open federal postings

Bigger, more competitive, more paperwork — federal general building and bridge/heavy-civil work in the region. Worth pursuing selectively rather than as a primary pipeline. The Award history table below shows who's actually winning these.

Maryland state & county

eMMA is state-level and blocks bots outright. We checked all 23 counties + Baltimore City for their own open-data alternative — 3 publish a live, queryable contracts feed.

eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA)

procurement.maryland.gov blocks automated fetching entirely (robots.txt disallows every path, including robots.txt itself). State-level RFPs — MDSHA, MTA, university facilities — stay a manual check until you export a list yourself or we get bot access approved.

County contracts — live sources

Montgomery, Baltimore County, and Baltimore City each run their own open-data platform with a real contracts dataset, independent of eMMA. Click "View jobs →" on any card to pull the live, individual records — filterable, and each one expands for full detail.

Montgomery County

Socrata · dataset vmu2-pnrc

2,367contracts

● Live data

Vendor, department, contract type, dollar limit, execution & expiration dates. Dataset description confirms it's active-contracts-only and "updated daily" — checked the numbers and essentially all 2,367 rows are still active. The one source here that's genuinely current.

ArcGIS FeatureServer

49still active

▲ Mostly expired

Checked the actual records: the dataset hasn't been edited since Sep 15, 2022, and of the 1,152 rows only 49 have an end date past today — the other 1,103 already ran out. It's a frozen 2022 extract, not a maintained feed. 734 rows (64%) also carry a $99,999,999 or $999,999,999 dollar amount — placeholder values, not real contract sizes. Treat this source as historical reference only.

Baltimore City

ArcGIS Hub · Bureau of Purchases

1,193contracts, unverified

◐ Freshness unconfirmed

PO number, vendor, description, blanket dollar limit, dollars spent/left. The Hub listing says "modified Jan 2025," but the underlying data layer's own last-edit timestamp reads May 25, 2023 — the 2025 touch looks like a metadata edit, not new records. Couldn't query individual rows to check how many are still active (same check we ran on Baltimore County), so don't treat this count as current until that's verified.

Award history — USASpending

This page calls USASpending's public API directly from your browser — no key, no backend. It's live on Brawner's deployed site; the claude.ai preview link blocks outbound calls like this one, so this section shows "unavailable" only there. See the note below.

How this snapshot works

Data & methodology

What's live: General Building Construction and Bridge/Heavy Civil counts are real totals pulled from the SAM.gov Opportunities API today, filtered to active postings with place of performance in MD, DC, or VA, posted in the last 6 months.
What's partial or pending: Demolition/Site Prep and Facilities Support hit SAM.gov's default non-federal key rate limit (roughly 10 requests/day) before every state could be pulled. Requesting a role upgrade on your SAM.gov account raises this.
USASpending — live on the deployed site, not in this preview: USASpending's search API needs a POST request, so it has to run client-side — your browser calls api.usaspending.gov directly, no key, no backend. That genuinely works on Brawner's deployed site (and when the HTML file is opened directly). It does not work through this claude.ai preview link: published pages here run under a content-security policy that blocks outbound calls to external APIs, with no exception for a public API like this one. Use Brawner's live site for award data; use this link for everything else.
eMMA — still blocked: procurement.maryland.gov blocks bots outright, with no client-side workaround (state RFPs aren't exposed as a public API the way USASpending's data is). The 3 live county datasets are the closest substitute so far.
County coverage: Checked all 23 counties + Baltimore City for an open-data alternative to eMMA. 3 publish a contracts dataset — only Montgomery's is confirmed current (updated daily, verified against its own row count). Baltimore County's is a frozen 2022 extract, 96% already expired, with mostly placeholder dollar values. Baltimore City's freshness couldn't be confirmed. 10 more counties run an open-data portal for GIS layers only; 11 have no usable portal — full breakdown below.
County job listings — live on the deployed site: "View jobs →" on each county card calls that county's public API directly from your browser (Socrata for Montgomery, Esri ArcGIS REST for both Baltimore sources) — same pattern as USASpending above, so it's live on Brawner's deployed site and blocked on this claude.ai preview link. Each record expands for full detail and a link back to the source dataset; none of these counties publish a canonical per-record web page, so that link searches or opens the dataset rather than a specific row.
