Share of the 334 priced awards.
Median = the middle award: half were smaller, half were larger. Bids = how many offers the agency received.
What this means
- The middle construction & facilities award from NIST was $131k (FY2021-FY2025, 334 priced awards).
- That is 2.5 times the median for all construction & facilities work nationwide ($52.8k).
- Competed awards drew a median of 3 offers (reported for 179 of 179).
- 22% of competed awards drew only one offer.
- In FY2025 the middle award was $347k, up 209% from FY2024 ($112k).
- Tip 45% of these awards were task orders under multiple-award contracts (MATOCs). To compete for those, you first need a spot on one of the umbrella contracts.
- Tip 87% of awards with a reported set-aside were reserved for small businesses, so small firms were not bidding against large companies.
