Purchase Orders and Contracts

Listing of all purchase orders and contracts issued to procure goods and/or services within City-Parish.

In the City-Parish, a PO/Contract is made up of two components: a header and one or many detail items that comprise the overarching PO/Contract. The header contains information that pertains to the entire PO/Contract. This includes, but is not limited to, the total amount of the PO/Contract, the department requesting the purchase and the vendor providing the goods or services. The detail item(s) contain information that is specific to the individual item ordered or service procured through the PO/Contract. The item/service description, item/service quantity and the cost of the item is located within the PO/Contract details. There may be one or many detail items on an individual PO/Contract. For example, a Purchase Order for a computer equipment may include three items: the computer, the monitor and the base software package.

Both header information and detail item information are included in this dataset in order to provide a comprehensive view of the PO/Contract data. The Record Type field indicates whether the record is a header record (H) or detail item record (D). In the computer purchase example from above, the system would display 4 records – one header record and 3 detail item records.

It should be noted header information will be duplicated on all detail items. No detail item information will be displayed on the header record.

***In October of 2017, the City-Parish switched to a new system used to track PO/Contracts. This data contains all PO/Contracts entered in or after October 2017. For prior year data, please see the Legacy Purchase Order dataset https://data.brla.gov/Government/Legacy-Purchase-Orders/54bn-2sqf

本数据集收录了城市教区（City-Parish）范围内为采购商品及/或服务所签发的全部采购订单（Purchase Order, PO）与合同列表。
在城市教区范围内，采购订单/合同由两部分构成：表头（header）以及构成该采购订单/合同整体的一项或多项明细条目（detail items）。
表头包含与整个采购订单/合同相关的全部信息，包括但不限于该采购订单/合同的总金额、提出采购申请的部门以及提供商品或服务的供应商（vendor）。
明细条目则包含与该采购订单/合同项下单个订购商品或采购服务相关的专属信息。商品/服务描述、商品/服务数量及单项成本均收录于采购订单/合同明细中。每份采购订单/合同可包含一项或多项明细条目。例如，一份针对计算机设备的采购订单可包含三项内容：计算机主机、显示器及基础软件套件。
本数据集同时收录表头信息与明细条目信息，以全面呈现采购订单/合同数据全貌。记录类型（Record Type）字段用于标识该记录属于表头记录（H）还是明细条目记录（D）。以上述计算机采购订单为例，系统将生成4条记录——1条表头记录与3条明细条目记录。
需注意的是，所有明细条目均会复制表头信息，而表头记录则不会包含任何明细条目信息。
***2017年10月，城市教区启用了全新的采购订单/合同追踪系统。本数据集包含2017年10月及之后录入的全部采购订单/合同数据。如需获取往年数据，请查阅《历史采购订单（Legacy Purchase Order）数据集》，链接：https://data.brla.gov/Government/Legacy-Purchase-Orders/54bn-2sqf
