Notes

This is a record inventory: each series is one award or contract with a single amount, as published, with no sums or conversions. Evident data-entry errors are kept (the largest contract recorded is 6,376 million quetzales), as are 85,013 awards marked cancelled, 446 open-contract values that may be maximum amounts, 186 proceeds from auctions or leases and 557 awards repeated under two identifiers. Privacy: where the supplier is an individual person (supplier_type INDIVIDUAL), the supplier's name, identifier and department are left out; the NIT that ends the award identifier, and each part of the supplier's name that the description prints, are replaced by ***. Tender descriptions can still name other people.
