Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	Note 1: Description of business Onvia (“Onvia” or the “Company”) Onvia is a leading commerce intelligence company at the core of B2G Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Onvia’s Product team was previously developing both internal sales tools and the external B2G B2G $1.7 twelve December 31, 2015 Basis of consolidation Onvia had a wholly-owned subsidiary in Canada that was dissolved effective December 19, 2014; December 31, 2014. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the fair value of stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability of long-lived assets, and the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may During 2016, 7 Revenue recognition Onvia’s revenues are primarily generated from client subscriptions, content licenses and management reports. Onvia’s subscriptions are generally annual contracts; however, the Company also offers extended multi-year contracts to its subscription clients, and content licenses are generally multi-year agreements. Subscription fees and content licenses are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Onvia also generates revenue from fees charged for management reports, document download services, and other services; revenue from these types of services is recognized upon delivery, or, if report refreshes are included, ratably over the service period. Onvia’s subscription services and management reports are also sold together as a bundled offering. The Company allocates revenue from these bundled sales ratably between the subscription services and the management reports based on established list prices for those offerings. The Company measures and allocates arrangement consideration to one Unearned revenue consists of payments received for prepaid subscriptions, as well as the invoiced, but unpaid, portion of subscriptions and content licenses whose terms extend into periods beyond the balance sheet date. Fair value of financial instruments Onvia’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, security deposits, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of the current portion of the financial instruments approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of the long-term portion of security deposits approximates fair value as the interest rate is at market value. All investments, when held, are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value based on market quotes, and unrealized gains or losses on these investments are recorded in stockholders’ equity and reported in comprehensive income. Cash, cash equivalents and investments Onvia considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities at purchase of 90 December 31, 2016 2015, 90 one 365 Management of credit risk Onvia is subject to concentration of credit risk, primarily from its investments and customer contracts. Onvia manages its credit risk for investments by purchasing investment-grade securities and diversifying its investment portfolio among issuers and maturities. Currently, the Company invests primarily in FDIC insured or government backed funds and securities to mitigate the credit risk associated with its investment portfolio. The Company manages credit risks on customer contracts by adhering to common underwriting practices. Property and equipment Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense on software, furniture, and equipment is recorded using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three five The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment. An impairment loss would be recognized for assets to be disposed of or held-for-use when the carrying amount of an asset is deemed to not be recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that any of the Company’s long-lived assets might be impaired, the Company analyzes the estimated undiscounted future cash flows to be generated from the applicable asset. In addition, the Company records an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is generally determined using an estimate of discounted future net cash flows from operating activities or upon disposal of the asset. No December 31, 2016 2015. Internal use software All qualifying costs related to the development of internal use software, other than those incurred during the application development stage, are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the application development stage are required to be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected economic lives, typically 3 5 Onvia periodically evaluates the remaining useful lives of internal use software and will record an abandonment if management determines that all or a portion of the asset will no longer be used, or will adjust the remaining useful life to reflect revised estimates for impairment as described above under “Property and equipment.” In addition, if the carrying value of the software exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment will be recorded to reduce the carrying value to the expected net realizable value. No December 31, 2016 2015. Income taxes Onvia accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and for net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The deferred tax asset has been reduced by a valuation allowance that reduces the amount of our deferred tax asset to a level that is more-than-likely-than-not to be recognized. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance the Company considers whether it is more likely that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. In particular, the Company considers its three Treasury stock Onvia accounts for treasury stock using the cost method. In December 2015, 349,497 13. December 31, 2016, 1,592,304 $5,446,259. Other comprehensive income or loss Comprehensive income or loss is the change in equity from transactions and other events and circumstances other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. Other comprehensive income or loss for Onvia consists of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments. Net income or loss per share Basic income or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss for the period by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss per share by the weighted average common stock outstanding for the period plus dilutive potential common shares using the treasury stock method. In periods with a net loss, basic and diluted earnings per share are identical because inclusion of potentially dilutive common shares would be antidilutive.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	Note 2: Onvia measures compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Such value is recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. Management considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including employee class, historical experience and expected future activity.

The following weighted average assumptions were used for options granted in the years ending December 31: 2016 2015 Risk-free interest rate 1.51 % 1.76 % Expected volatility 42 % 44 % Expected dividends 0 % 0 % Expected life (in years) 5.8 5.9 The fair value of each employee purchase under the ESPP is estimated on the first May 1 November 1 December 31 2016 2015 Risk-free interest rate 0.34 % 0.05 % Expected volatility 35 % 36 % Expected dividends 0 % 0 % Expected life (in years) 0.5 0.5 Risk-Free Interest Rate The average risk free interest rate was determined based on the market yield for U.S. Treasury securities for the expected term of the grant at the time of grant. Expected Volatility Management used the historical volatility of Onvia’s common stock to estimate the future volatility of its common stock over the expected term of the options granted for purposes of estimating the fair value of options granted. Expected Dividends Management does not currently intend to pay dividends; therefore, this assumption is set at 0%. Expected Life Onvia’s computation of expected life was determined based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. Management estimated future exercise and cancellation behavior, generally by assuming that remaining shares would be exercised or cancelled ratably over their remaining contractual term, adjusted for certain expectations of future employee behavior. Management considers the behavior patterns separately for distinct groups of employees that have similar historical experience. Stock Option Activity The following table summarizes activity under Onvia’s equity incentive plans for the years ended December 31, 2016 2015: Options Weighted Weighted Aggregate (1) Total options outstanding at January 1, 2015 889,592 $ 4.20 Options granted 151,750 4.21 Options exercised (64,877 ) 3.17 Options expired (23,417 ) 4.36 Options forfeited and cancelled (131,297 ) 5.47 Total options outstanding at December 31, 2015 821,751 $ 4.08 5.95 $ 292,799 Options exercisable at December 31, 2015 587,125 $ 4.08 4.83 $ 268,579 Options vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2015 786,578 $ 4.11 5.87 $ 269,314 Total options outstanding at January 1, 2016 821,751 $ 4.08 Options granted 95,000 3.81 Options exercised (1,000 ) 3.40 Options expired (31,500 ) 4.64 Options forfeited and cancelled (4,333 ) 4.86 Total options outstanding at December 31, 2016 879,918 $ 4.03 5.60 $ 712,377 Options exercisable at December 31, 2016 654,490 $ 4.03 4.53 $ 604,760 Options vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2016 853,057 $ 4.03 5.50 $ 699,862 (1) $4.45 December 31, 2016 December 31, 2016.

These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the product, typically 3 5 Onvia periodically evaluates the remaining useful lives and carrying values of internal use software. If management determines that all or a portion of the asset will no longer be used, or the estimated remaining useful life differs from existing estimates, an abandonment will be recorded to reduce the carrying value or adjust the remaining useful life to reflect revised estimates. In addition, if the carrying value of the software exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment will be recorded to reduce the carrying value to the expected realizable value.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Onvia’s Product team was previously developing both internal sales tools and the external B2G B2G $1.7 twelve December 31, 2015
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Basis of consolidation Onvia had a wholly-owned subsidiary in Canada that was dissolved effective December 19, 2014; December 31, 2014.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the fair value of stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability of long-lived assets, and the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may During 2016, 7
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue recognition Onvia’s revenues are primarily generated from client subscriptions, content licenses and management reports. Onvia’s subscriptions are generally annual contracts; however, the Company also offers extended multi-year contracts to its subscription clients, and content licenses are generally multi-year agreements. Subscription fees and content licenses are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Onvia also generates revenue from fees charged for management reports, document download services, and other services; revenue from these types of services is recognized upon delivery, or, if report refreshes are included, ratably over the service period. Onvia’s subscription services and management reports are also sold together as a bundled offering. The Company allocates revenue from these bundled sales ratably between the subscription services and the management reports based on established list prices for those offerings. The Company measures and allocates arrangement consideration to one Unearned revenue consists of payments received for prepaid subscriptions, as well as the invoiced, but unpaid, portion of subscriptions and content licenses whose terms extend into periods beyond the balance sheet date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair value of financial instruments Onvia’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, security deposits, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of the current portion of the financial instruments approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of the long-term portion of security deposits approximates fair value as the interest rate is at market value. All investments, when held, are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value based on market quotes, and unrealized gains or losses on these investments are recorded in stockholders’ equity and reported in comprehensive income.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash, cash equivalents and investments Onvia considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities at purchase of 90 December 31, 2016 2015, 90 one 365
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Management of credit risk Onvia is subject to concentration of credit risk, primarily from its investments and customer contracts. Onvia manages its credit risk for investments by purchasing investment-grade securities and diversifying its investment portfolio among issuers and maturities. Currently, the Company invests primarily in FDIC insured or government backed funds and securities to mitigate the credit risk associated with its investment portfolio. The Company manages credit risks on customer contracts by adhering to common underwriting practices.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Property and equipment Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense on software, furniture, and equipment is recorded using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three five The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment. An impairment loss would be recognized for assets to be disposed of or held-for-use when the carrying amount of an asset is deemed to not be recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that any of the Company’s long-lived assets might be impaired, the Company analyzes the estimated undiscounted future cash flows to be generated from the applicable asset. In addition, the Company records an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is generally determined using an estimate of discounted future net cash flows from operating activities or upon disposal of the asset. No December 31, 2016 2015.
Internal Use Software, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Internal use software All qualifying costs related to the development of internal use software, other than those incurred during the application development stage, are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the application development stage are required to be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected economic lives, typically 3 5 Onvia periodically evaluates the remaining useful lives of internal use software and will record an abandonment if management determines that all or a portion of the asset will no longer be used, or will adjust the remaining useful life to reflect revised estimates for impairment as described above under “Property and equipment.” In addition, if the carrying value of the software exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment will be recorded to reduce the carrying value to the expected net realizable value. No December 31, 2016 2015.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income taxes Onvia accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and for net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The deferred tax asset has been reduced by a valuation allowance that reduces the amount of our deferred tax asset to a level that is more-than-likely-than-not to be recognized. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance the Company considers whether it is more likely that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. In particular, the Company considers its three
Treasury Stock [Policy Text Block]	Treasury stock Onvia accounts for treasury stock using the cost method. In December 2015, 349,497 13. December 31, 2016, 1,592,304 $5,446,259.
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Other comprehensive income or loss Comprehensive income or loss is the change in equity from transactions and other events and circumstances other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. Other comprehensive income or loss for Onvia consists of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Net income or loss per share Basic income or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss for the period by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss per share by the weighted average common stock outstanding for the period plus dilutive potential common shares using the treasury stock method. In periods with a net loss, basic and diluted earnings per share are identical because inclusion of potentially dilutive common shares would be antidilutive.
