How the work was bought
Competition
Was the work open to bids?
- Order (single-award IDIQ) 19 (66%)
A task order under an IDIQ held by one company. No new competition, so it is left out of bid statistics.
- Competed 8 (28%)
A standalone contract that was open to bids.
- Not competed 2 (7%)
Sole-source: only one company was asked.
Set-asides
Set-aside = reserved for a group of businesses.

- Small business 5 (17%)

- 8(a) 2 (7%)

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.
