# Colombia SECOP II procurement processes

## Source
- **URL**: https://www.datos.gov.co/d/p6dx-8zbt
- **Institution**: Colombia Compra Eficiente
- **Data**: Procurement processes joined to one selected contract and a derived corporate-bidder count, with reviewed natural-person redaction.
- **Coverage**: Published SECOP II processes in the staged snapshot; excludes SECOP I and the offers dataset. Not an exhaustive contract history.

## How it works
One procurement process in the REQ namespace. Contracts join through its BDOS portfolio identifier; where several contracts match, only one selected contract is retained.

Use the public process ID, for example CO1.REQ.100001. coSecopProcess normalizes it to the stored zero-padded numeric-first ID. Search hits expose the stored ID; convert it back to the documented public form before lookup.
Pattern: `^CO\d\.REQ\.\d{1,10}$`. Normalization: `coSecopProcess`.

Cardinality: one. Update schedule: daily.
Import time is not government observation time. No record observation field is declared; do not substitute incorporation or registration dates.

## Known issues
- Corporate identity is a reviewed NIT-shape predicate, not confirmation against RUES or proof of current legal status.
- Natural-person contractor and awardee names/documents and contractor addresses are redacted; affected free text is scrubbed. Empty fields may be missing, unmatched or redacted and do not establish a negative finding.
- Only one contract is selected per portfolio; contract values are not totals across all related contracts. bidder_count counts distinct corporate-shaped NITs, not every submission or participant.
- Process and contract dates are publisher timestamps, never import time. Numbered phase timestamp suffixes are original field names, not inferred chronology.
- Monetary strings preserve the publisher values in COP without scaling or conversion. Truncated field valor_pendiente_de has no inferred financial category.
- duracion uses the original unidad_de_duracion; duracion_del_contrato is unparsed publisher text. Funding-source fields are indicators rather than monetary amounts.
- PPI, PCI, agreement-point and agreement-pillar fields are preserved without expanding undocumented abbreviations or categories.
- Source data, statuses and privacy redactions do not establish legal clearance, eligibility, ownership or complete procurement coverage.
- Six original typography controls (U+0091, U+0092, U+0093, U+0094, U+0096 and U+0097) are rendered as curly quotes and dashes after UTF-8 decoding. Other Unicode text is preserved; whitespace is normalized.
- Missing records do not establish clearance. Unavailable sources must be reported separately.
