Find agencies

Find government agencies by level, function, and tender

Public sector contact data is not hidden, it is scattered. Every agency publishes a directory somewhere, and no two publish it in the same shape.

The work here is normalization, not discovery. A city publishes a staff page, a county publishes a document, a state agency publishes an org chart, and none of them agree on what a department should be called. Crawl them into one shape and the segment you want becomes obvious.

Open Web Ninja locates the offices, Exa finds the pages describing functions and programs, and Firecrawl extracts directory and procurement pages into rows. People Data Labs resolves the agency as an employer, and Blitz API handles work email for the officials who have one.

Example searches

Ask for it the way you'd say it

Every search below runs on the same hosted Tables, with the cost previewed before anything is spent.

  • By level and function

    county public works departments in the western united states serving more than 50,000 residents

    Level and function become separate columns, so a county department is never confused with the city agency that shares its name.

  • Procurement pages

    agencies that publish an open solicitation page for technology services

    Procurement pages are extracted into rows, which tells you whether the buying route is a portal or a conversation with a person.

  • Named officials

    find the department head and the technology lead at each of these agencies

    Public directories resolve real names more often than most private companies do, though the address is frequently a role inbox.

Plays

Three motions you can run this week

Each one is a chain of Oxygen primitives — the same hosted objects your workspace already has, composed.

  • Normalize the directories

    Twenty different directory formats become one table with the same columns.

    1. Tables
    2. Records
    1. 1Extract each agency directory page into rows with name, title, department, and address.
    2. 2Promote the settled contacts onto records so the shape survives the next refresh.

  • Follow the procurement route

    You know before writing whether the entry point is a portal or a person.

    1. Tables
    2. Tags
    3. Sequences
    1. 1Extract procurement pages, then tag each agency portal-led or relationship-led.
    2. 2Enroll only the relationship-led rows and handle the portals separately.

  • Function-first segments

    Public works, technology, and parks hear three messages instead of one pitch.

    1. Tables
    2. Knowledge Graph
    3. Sequences
    1. 1Classify each department by function against definitions written for your product.
    2. 2Ground each sequence in the program language that function actually uses.

Who you can reach

Roles you can find at government agencies and departments

Reachability is per channel: a role marked for mobile is one the phone waterfall usually resolves, not a guarantee for every record.

Filters you can search on

  • Level of government
  • Function or department
  • Population or area served
  • Published procurement portal
  • Staff directory available
  • State, region, or country
  • Agency size band
  • Open solicitations referenced on the site

Agencies and their offices resolve reliably, and named officials are easier to find here than in the private sector. The catch is the address: many agencies publish role inboxes rather than personal ones, and mobile numbers are essentially unavailable. Plan for email and formal channels.

Data sources

What the data actually comes from

Every value lands with its provider and cost recorded on the cell.

  • Op

    Open Web Ninja

    Office listings for agencies with a public counter or a physical address.

  • Exa

    Finds the pages describing an agency's functions, programs, and responsibilities.

  • Firecrawl

    Extracts staff directories and procurement pages into structured rows.

  • People Data Labs

    The agency as an employer, with size bands and named senior staff.

  • Blitz API

    Work-email lookup for named officials where a personal address actually exists.

Run these on Oxygen's managed credits, or connect your own provider keys and pay the vendor directly — the same columns, the same runs, the same provenance either way. See every integration.

Limits

Where this stops

  • Many agencies publish role inboxes instead of personal addresses, and mobile numbers are effectively unavailable. Treat the email column as a routing address rather than a direct line to the person named beside it.

FAQ

Questions people ask first

Is public sector contact data available?
Names and titles usually are, because agencies publish directories. What you often get is a role inbox rather than a personal address, which changes how the first message should be written.
Can I see what an agency is buying?
Where it publishes a procurement page, yes, and that page is extracted into rows. Agencies buying through a shared portal show that instead, which is itself the answer to how you get in.
How do you handle inconsistent department names?
By classifying function rather than matching the name. A department of public works and a department of infrastructure do the same job, and the function column makes them one segment.
Are federal agencies covered?
They appear, but they are the least useful end of this list for a small company. Local and county government moves faster and buys smaller, which is usually the better entry point.
Can I call instead of emailing?
You can reach a switchboard. Direct lines and mobiles are not published for most officials, so plan an email-first approach with the phone as a routing step rather than a lane of its own.
How current are the directories?
As current as the agency keeps them, which varies enormously. Re-extract on a schedule and let the changed rows tell you which agencies maintain their pages and which have stopped.
