Search District of Columbia government contract awards
Overview
DC PASS Contracts opens a body of District of Columbia procurement records to conversational search. The collection covers roughly 50,000 contracts that the District government awarded from 2015 onward.
Queries are typed as ordinary questions rather than entered into a form, and the app returns matching contract records from that set. Searching is the function the record describes, which fits lookup and reference work rather than analysis of live procurement pipelines or any part of bidding.
The published entry gives no detail on which fields are exposed, how often the collection is refreshed, or whether filtering by agency, vendor or award value is available. Argorand Inc. is listed as the developer.

Its scope is deliberately narrow: one jurisdiction, one dataset, and a search function rather than an analytics layer.
Availability
DC PASS Contracts is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. Argorand Inc. has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.

This is an independent catalogue entry compiled by Node8 from DC PASS Contracts's public marketplace listing as it stood in August 2026. Listing facts come from the marketplaces; the comparisons against the rest of the directory and any live-endpoint measurements are Node8's. Node8 is not affiliated with Argorand Inc., and inclusion here is not an endorsement.
Node8 builds MCP servers end to end: deciding which tools are worth exposing, the authentication and permission model, the review submissions, and the onboarding that gets them used. One server serves ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.
