The City of Boston reports on our discretionary spending as part of our commitment to transparency and to growing pathways to equitable procurement for diverse suppliers. This dataset contains all discretionary spending data from Fiscal Year 2019 - Fiscal Year 2025, Quarter 3.

Discretionary spending refers to the total value of payments made by the City to a supplier through a contract ($10,000 or over) or a purchase order (under $10,000). This includes procurements where there is competition and discretion over choosing a supplier. Discretionary spending does not include mandatory or fixed obligations, such as payments of employee benefits.

You can view an interactive dashboard of our discretionary spending at https://www.boston.gov/equitable-procurement.

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

** Notes on the Data **

The Discretionary Spending dataset differs from our Checkbook Explorer (https://data.boston.gov/dataset/checkbook-explorer) dataset in two key ways.

• First, we report on some types of spending in the Checkbook Explorer dataset, such as utility, telecommunications, and benefits payments, that we don’t report in the Discretionary Spending dataset.
• Second, the Checkbook Explorer dataset is updated monthly; the Discretionary Spending dataset is updated quarterly. We are working to synchronize these datasets in the future.

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 3.

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.

** 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.

Many studies have examined how island biogeography affects diversity on the scale of island systems. In this study, we address how diversity varies over very short periods of time on individual islands. To do this, we compile an inventory of the ants living in the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area, Boston, Massachusetts, USA using data from a five-year All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory of the region's arthropods. Consistent with the classical theory of island biogeography, species richness increased with island size, decreased with island isolation, and remained relatively constant over time. Additionally, our inventory finds that almost half of the known Massachusetts ant fauna can be collected in the BHI, and identifies four new species records for Massachusetts, including one new to the United States, Myrmica scabrinodis. We find that the number of species actually active on islands depended greatly on the timescale under consideration. The species that could be detected during any given week of sampling could by no means account for total island species richness, even when correcting for sampling effort. Though we consistently collected the same number of species over any given week of sampling, the identities of those species varied greatly between weeks. This variation does not result from local immigration and extinction of species, nor from seasonally-driven changes in the abundance of individual species, but rather from weekly changes in the distribution and activity of foraging ants. This variation can be upwards of 50% of ant species per week. This suggests that numerous ant species on the BHI share the same physical space at different times. This temporal partitioning could well explain such unexpectedly high ant diversity in an isolated, urban site.
