Building Block Software

GovStack develops technical specifications for digital Building Blocks through collaborative, expert-driven working groups. These specifications enable reusable, interoperable software solutions that help build inclusive and scalable digital public infrastructure.

GovStack is product-agnostic. Both open-source and proprietary solutions can be submitted. Listings are ordered by submission date. GovStack does not endorse any product over another.

What is Building Block Software?

Building Block Software is any solution that implements one or more GovStack Building Blocks. It ensures that digital services can be built faster, reused, and scaled across contexts.

How is Compliance Measured?

Solutions are evaluated across three areas: deployment, API standards, and requirement specifications. Compliance levels show how closely a product follows GovStack guidelines.

How to Submit Your Software

Organizations can self-assess and submit their software for inclusion in the GovStack catalog. This helps promote transparency and adoption of interoperable solutions.
