About

Vesper

Vesper is a working tool for people who follow Florida state government professionally — lobbyists, government-affairs teams, and the companies that sell to the state. It answers the questions that decide your week. What went out to bid this morning. Which contracts come up for renewal before session. What an agency actually paid a vendor, versus what the budget appropriated. Who represents you, and who runs each agency. IN THE APP Ask — a question in plain English, answered with its public sources attached; keep asking in the same conversation. Bids — every open solicitation from MyFloridaMarketPlace, closing soonest first, with what changed since your last visit and a plain-English summary drawn from the solicitation documents. Spending — the state's purchase orders and contracts, money layers kept separate; each company's page: what it sells, to whom, and who lobbies for it; the state's buying vehicles, how Florida buys, and each agency's technology. Recompete — contracts and renewals before they come back to market. Budget and LBR — the General Appropriations Act line by line with its provisos, and the agencies' budget requests. Legislature — all 160 seats: committees, sponsorship and member projects, and who represents any Florida address. Executive — the executive branch by name and by job, with this week's payroll changes. Lobby, Record and Law — the lobbying registry, Florida Channel hearings transcribed and searchable, and the Florida Statutes and Administrative Code. Saved — keep what you're tracking, in sync with vesperfl.com. HOW IT WORKS Vesper reads the state's own systems — MyFloridaMarketPlace, FACTS, Transparency Florida, the Florida Fiscal Portal — and keeps them current. Figures are shown as the state publishes them, and where two systems disagree, Vesper says so rather than quietly picking one. Browsing open solicitations needs no account. Everything else is by invitation: request an account at vesperfl.com. Vesper sells nothing, in the app or on the web.
