This is the public repo for apps.gov, which is an active marketplace that helps gov employees evaluate and compare cloud-based products. Information on product's description, certifications, and contract vehicles are listed. Additionally, resources for tech companies to list their products and how to get started selling to the federal government can be found.
This repo is open source, maintained by the Presidential Innovation Fellows. If you have any questions regarding this repo or the content listed, please contact [email protected].
To get started selling to the federal government, check out https://apps.gov/listing to learn more about steps to get listed, contract vehicles available, and security reviews when selling to the federal government.
All products are listed in JSON
format. Updates can be made and submitted via a pull request, which will be reviewed by the Apps.Gov team. The link to where all products are at https://github.com/presidential-innovation-fellows/apps-gov/tree/master/_data/products
NOTICE!!! To help ensure and maintain quality of products listed, only pull requests that come from GitHub accounts that have a publicly listed, confirmed (default GitHub requirement) company email address OR the company GitHub organization associated with the profile. A note will be added if this is not true and will be reviewed again once complete and noted in the comments, notifying the reviewer's GitHub username.
The format for listing your product JSON
includes three sections: 1) required, 2) optional, and 3) attributes.
"slug": "product-file-name",
"name": "product-name",
"url": "product-url",
"logo": "file-name-ie-product.png-otherwise-value-should-be-null",
"top_keywords": [

"short_description": "High level product description, up to 140 characters.",
"long_description": "Longer description of the product, which will be found on the product page.",
"sales_poc": "sales-poc-email",
NOTE 1: Adding a logo requires adding an image (max dimensions 400x400 and less than 100kb) via comment to your pull request. GitHub allows users to drag and drop files directly into comment form fields, which will then be used to integrate into the deployment.
NOTE 2: The sales_poc
designation enables the Contact button on your product page.

Install Ruby on your system. This site requires version 2.2.4 or greater. You can see if a compatible version is already installed by running
ruby -v
in a terminal window.You may wish to install a version manager such as rbenv to manage and install different Ruby versions.
-
Install Node.js on your system. This site requires version 4.2 or greater or version 5 or greater. You can see if a compatible version is already installed by running
node -v
in a terminal window.You may wish to install a version manager such as nvm to manage and install different Node.js versions.
Why Node.js? It's used to build the lunr.js search index and search user interface components supplied by the
jekyll_pages_api_search
gem. We also use browserify and uglifyify to compile the customassets/js/products.js
code intojs/products-bundle.js
, as specified in thejekyll_pages_api_search.browserify
property of_config.yml
. -
Create a clone of this repository on your computer and change into its directory:
$ git clone https://github.com/presidential-innovation-fellows/apps-gov $ cd apps-gov
-
Run
./go init
to install the Ruby gems specified in theGemfile
and the npm modules specified inpackage.json
.The
./go
script is Bundler-aware, so you do not need to runbundle install
first.Windows users: You may need to run the script as
ruby ./go init
instead, and run other./go
script commands in a similar fashion. -
Run
./go build
to build the site, and./go serve
to build and serve the site locally at http://127.0.0.1:4000.These commands run
jekyll build
andjekyll serve
, respectively. You can pass command line arguments as you would to those bare commands.Why not just run
bundle exec jekyll serve
?./go init
and./go serve
perform the same environment setup asbundle exec
, but the./go
script also sets theNODE_PATH
environment variable to add thenode_modules
directory, so that the locally-installedbrowserify
anduglifyify
modules are discoverable.This is because
jekyll_pages_api_search
contains components thatrequire()
these modules, but these components reside in a directory this is neither a child nor a parent of the site. Consequently, the default Node.js module resolution algorithm will not discover the modules on its own.
