How the work was bought

Competition

Was the work open to bids?

  • Competed 40 (60%)

    A standalone contract that was open to bids.

  • Not competed 25 (37%)

    Sole-source: only one company was asked.

  • Order (single-award IDIQ) 2 (3%)

    A task order under an IDIQ held by one company. No new competition, so it is left out of bid statistics.

Set-asides

Set-aside = reserved for a group of businesses.

  • Open to all 30 (45%)

    No set-aside: any size of business could bid.

  • Small business 22 (33%)

    Only small businesses could bid.

  • Veteran-owned 10 (15%)

    Reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned (SDVOSB) or veteran-owned (VOSB) small businesses.

    Reserved for firms in SBA's 8(a) program for disadvantaged small businesses.

  • Woman-owned 1 (1%)

    Reserved for woman-owned small businesses (WOSB/EDWOSB).

Left out of the numbers above: 8 equipment purchases. Why?

Umbrella contracts used here

Many jobs are placed as task orders under an IDIQ: an umbrella contract with no fixed amount. Only the companies holding it can get those orders. A "multiple-award" IDIQ is shared by several companies, who compete for each order. "–" = not reported.

Contract Type Orders Ordering ends
693KA820D00016 Single-award The IDIQ drew 1 offers 2 Mar 13, 2026

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.
