How the work was bought

Competition

Was the work open to bids?

  • Order (single-award IDIQ) 146 (81%)

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

  • Not competed 24 (13%)

    Sole-source: only one company was asked.

  • Competed 10 (6%)

    A standalone contract that was open to bids.

Set-asides

Set-aside = reserved for a group of businesses.

  • Open to all 145 (81%)

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

  • Small business 21 (12%)

    Only small businesses could bid.

  • 8(a) 10 (6%)

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

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

  • HUBZone 2 (1%)

    Reserved for small businesses in a Historically Underutilized Business Zone.

Left out of the numbers above: 1 equipment purchase, 2 cancelled or $0 awards. 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.
