Govlist
Govlist, Inc. (which operated as ProcureNow) was a San Francisco-based govtech startup providing a multi-tenant SaaS platform for government procurement and contract management. Its Government Procurement Automation Cloud helped local and state agencies build, source, and evaluate RFPs and bids, and helped suppliers read, understand, and respond to complex public solicitations. The company, backed by 500 Global and Civstart, was acquired by OpenGov in 2021 (announced June 2021), where the product now lives as OpenGov Procurement. Govlist has no independent developer surface, API, or portal; its original domain (thegovlist.com) no longer resolves. This profile is preserved as a historical lead surfaced from the 500 Global portfolio.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
Govlist is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Govlist scores 5.7/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

The organization behind the API
Govlist is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
