Competition
Was the work open to bids?
- Order (multiple-award IDIQ) 10 (71%)
A task order placed under an IDIQ held by several companies, who competed for it.
- Competed 2 (14%)
A standalone contract that was open to bids.
- Not competed 1 (7%)
Sole-source: only one company was asked.
- Order (single-award IDIQ) 1 (7%)
A task order under an IDIQ held by one company. No new competition, so it is left out of bid statistics.

Set-aside = reserved for a group of businesses.
- Small business 8 (57%)
Only small businesses could bid.
- 8(a) 6 (43%)
Reserved for firms in SBA's 8(a) program for disadvantaged small businesses.
Left out of the numbers above: 1 equipment purchase, 1 cancelled or $0 award. 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.
