The City of Boston reports on our contract awards as part of our commitment to transparency and to growing pathways to equitable procurement for diverse suppliers. This dataset reports on our procurement contracts and other agreements, such as grants, from Fiscal Year 2019 through Fiscal Year 2025, Quarter 2.

A contract is an agreement between the City of Boston and a supplier to acquire supplies and services over $10,000. Contracts have an award value. This is the maximum dollar amount that a business can be paid, in total, over the life of the contract.

You can view an interactive dashboard of our procurement contract award at https://www.boston.gov/equitable-procurement. This dashboard does not report on non-procurement contracts or agreement types.

To learn more about the City's procurement and supplier diversity efforts, visit:

• https://www.boston.gov/procurement
• https://www.boston.gov/supplier-diversity

** Notes on the Data **

• In some circumstances, the City department name was not recorded on the electronic contract record.
• There are some instances where the description of the contract only references City identifiers, such as a bid or purchase order number.
• Some electronic contract records do not have information recorded in our administrative systems in order to accurately categorize them as a Procurement Contract. We have included these contracts as "Other Contracts".
• In the event of a discrepancy between the electronic contract record and the signed contract document, the signed contract document is the record of truth. There are some instances where these two may differ.

** Contract Categorization **

The City categorizes agreements into Procurement Contracts and Other Contracts to distinguish contracts entered through a procurement process from other types of agreements.

• Procurement Contract: An agreement between the City of Boston and a supplier to acquire supplies and services over $10,000. Procurement contracts are awarded through competitive or limited competition procurements.

  • Competitive Procurement: A City contract is awarded after a competitive evaluation of quotes, bids, or proposals. The City can either publicly invite suppliers or selectively invite several suppliers to submit a response.
  • Limited Competition Procurement: A City contract for an item or service that is not subject to all of the requirements outlined in Massachusetts public procurement laws. This includes exempt, sole source, and emergency procurements.

• Other Contract: Other types of contracts include Government-to-Government Agreements, Grants to Nonprofits, Loans, Revenue Contracts, Trusts or Gift Agreements, Special Education, Health Insurance, and Employment Agreements.

Summary

The State of Early Education and Care in Boston: Supply, Demand, Affordability, and Quality, is the first in what is planned as a recurrent landscape survey of early childhood, preschool and childcare programs in every neighborhood of Boston. It focuses on potential supply, demand and gaps in child-care seats (availability, quality and affordability). This report’s estimates set a baseline understanding to help focus and track investments and policy changes for early childhood in the city.

This publication is a culmination of efforts by a diverse data committee representing providers, parents, funding agencies, policymakers, advocates, and researchers. The report includes data from several sources, such as American Community Survey, Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care, Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education, Boston Public Health Commission, City of Boston, among others. For detailed information on methodology, findings and recommendations, please access the full report here

The first dataset contains all Census data used in the publication. Data is presented by neighborhoods:

• Population 0 – 5 years;
• Population 0 – 2 years;
• Population 3 – 5 years;
• Race/ethnicity for children 0 – 4 years (White, non-Hispanic; Black; Asian; Hispanic/Latinx);
• Family type (married couples, female householder, male householder);
• Poverty status;
• Family median income in the past 12 months;
• Average cost of care as a percentage of median family income (infant, preschool);
• Share of families that cannot afford care (infant, preschool)

The Boston Planning & Development Agency Research Division analyzed 2013-2017 American Community Survey data to estimate numbers by ZIP-Code. The Boston Opportunity Agenda combined that data by the approximate neighborhoods and estimated cost of care and affordability.

Additional notes:

• Record Type: Each record represents a ZIP-Code defined neighborhood. See list below for detailed information on Boston ZIP-Codes used to create each one of the 15 neighborhoods.
• Data Quality: Numbers presented here came from 2013-2017 American Community Survey data. Therefore, these are ESTIMATES and have margin of errors. The smaller the geographical unit, the greater the margin of error. The Boston Planning & Development Agency analyzed the data to estimate numbers by ZIP-Code.
• Race/Ethnicity: Non-White Hispanics may be double counted due to data limitations.
• Cost of Care: The average cost of care as a percentage of median family income was computed assuming the annual average cost of infant care was $19,877 and the average cost of preschool care was $ 13,771 (Childcare Aware of America, 2019). For each neighborhood we estimated the impact of child care (infant and preschool) on its median annual family income.
• Affordability: The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) sets a standard regarding the affordability of child care, where the annual cost of child care should not exceed 10 percent of household annual income. Using this 10% threshold, we estimated that to afford market rate infant care, a family’s annual income would have to be at least $198,770. The census income bracket closest to this income was a family income of $150,000– 199,999. To afford preschool care, a family's annual income should be at least $137,710. Thus, the census income bracket that encompass this income is $125,000 - 149,999. For both infant and preschool care, we underestimated the number of families that can afford care.

The main purpose of study was to examine efforts to increase political participation in the Boston Latino community, and also to explore ways in which Latinas take interest in and involve themselves in politics. The sample consisted of 53 Latino-American participants; 31 participants who were considered "Influential Latinos" ("la gente professional") and; 22 participants defined as "La Gente del Pueblo" ("the common folk"). The sample consisted of 29 female and 24 male participants, and was ethnically diverse including participants originating from Central and South America, as well as the Carribean. The study was conducted between 1988 and 1991 using a qualitative, exploratory ethnographic field study design. Topics generally covered in the study focused on problems facing Latinos in Boston, and how to resolve these problems; political mobilization efforts; politicization process in terms of migration experiences, politics as a problem-solving process, participation in traditional political activities. The Murray Research Archive holds the following data: audiotaped interviews with 13 influential Latinas, 18 influential Latinos, 17 La Gente Latinas, and six La Gente Latinos. Deidentified transcripts of these interviews are available for 11 influential Latinas, 18 influential Latinos, 11 La Gente Latinas, and three La Gente Latinos. Audio Data Availability Note: This study contains audio data that have been digitized. There are 111 audio files available.

The Element Occurrence (EO) records that form the core of the Natural Heritage Inventory database include information on the location, status, characteristics, numbers, condition, and distribution of elements of biological diversity using established Natural Heritage Methodology developed by NatureServe and The Nature Conservancy. An Element Occurrence (EO) is an area of land and/or water in which a species or natural community is, or was, present. An EO should have practical conservation value for the Element as evidenced by potential continued (or historical) presence and/or regular recurrence at a given location. For species Elements, the EO often corresponds with the local population, but when appropriate may be a portion of a population or a group of nearby populations (e.g., metapopulation). For community Elements, the EO may represent a stand or patch of a natural community, or a cluster of stands or patches of a natural community. Because they are defined on the basis of biological information, EOs may cross jurisdictional boundaries. An Element Occurrence record is a data management tool that has both spatial and tabular components including a mappable feature and its supporting database. EOs are typically represented by bounded, mapped areas of land and/or water or, at small scales, the centroid point of this area. EO records are most commonly created for current or historically known occurrences of natural communities or native species of conservation interest.
