What this means

  • The middle building construction award in Iowa was $64.7k (FY2021-FY2025, 282 priced awards).
  • That is 64% lower than the median for building construction nationwide ($178k).
  • Competed awards drew a median of 3 offers (reported for 206 of 206).
  • 24% of competed awards drew only one offer.
  • In FY2025 the middle award was $145k, down 20% from FY2024 ($182k).
  • Tip 58% 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 94% of awards with a reported set-aside were reserved for small businesses, so small firms were not bidding against large companies.

Value at award = the contract value when it was signed. Bids = offers received; "–" means not reported. Set-aside = reserved for a group, such as small or veteran-owned businesses. IDIQ = an umbrella contract; work under it is placed as task orders. After changes = the original award value was not reported, so the value shown includes later changes; such awards are left out of price statistics.

Contracts ending soon

Recurring work whose current contract ends within 18 months, so the agency will likely buy it again (a "recompete"). The company doing it today is the incumbent.
