What this means
- The middle construction & facilities award from U.S. Department of Justice, USMS was $6.5M (FY2021-FY2025, 10 priced awards).
- That is 122.5 times the median for all construction & facilities work nationwide ($52.8k).
- Small businesses won 10% of priced awards.
- The top 3 winners took 100% of priced awards.
- 100% of priced awards went to companies based within 100 miles of the work.
- Tip 90% 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.

Value at award = the contract value when it was signed. Bids = offers received; "–" means not reported. Set-aside = reserved for a group, such as small or veteran-owned businesses. IDIQ = an umbrella contract; work under it is placed as task orders. After changes = the original award value was not reported, so the value shown includes later changes; such awards are left out of price statistics.

How the work was bought
Competition
Was the work open to bids?
- Order (single-award IDIQ) 9 (90%)
A task order under an IDIQ held by one company. No new competition, so it is left out of bid statistics.
- Not competed 1 (10%)
Sole-source: only one company was asked.
Set-asides
Set-aside = reserved for a group of businesses.
- Open to all 9 (90%)
No set-aside: any size of business could bid.
- 8(a) 1 (10%)
Reserved for firms in SBA's 8(a) program for disadvantaged small businesses.
Left out of the numbers above: 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.
| Contract | Type | Orders | Ordering ends |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15M40018DA3500001 | Single-award The IDIQ drew 1 offers | 5 | Sep 30, 2027 |
| 15M40020DA3500004 | Single-award The IDIQ drew 3 offers | 4 | Sep 30, 2028 |
Contracts ending soon
Recurring work whose current contract ends within 18 months, so the agency will likely buy it again (a "recompete"). The company doing it today is the incumbent.
