What this means
- The middle construction & facilities award at VA Palo Alto was $144k (FY2021-FY2025, 139 priced awards).
- That is 2.1 times the median for all construction & facilities work in California ($68.2k).
- Competed awards drew a median of 2 offers (reported for 93 of 93).
- 25% of competed awards drew only one offer.
- In FY2025 the middle award was $99.9k, down 16% from FY2024 ($119k).
- Tip 47% 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 54% of awards with a reported set-aside were reserved for small businesses, so small firms were not bidding against large companies.
