What this means
- The middle plumbing award in the Boston, MA area was $16.6k (FY2021-FY2025, 110 priced awards).
- That is 19% lower than the median for plumbing in Massachusetts ($20.5k).
- Competed awards drew a median of 3 offers (reported for 26 of 26).
- 12% of competed awards drew only one offer.
- Small businesses won 97% of priced awards.
- Tip 64% of these awards were task orders under single-award contracts (IDIQs). Only the company holding that contract could get them, so watch for the umbrella contract to be re-bid.
- Tip 83% of awards with a reported set-aside were reserved for small businesses, so small firms were not bidding against large companies.
