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?
- Not competed 27 (73%)
Sole-source: only one company was asked.
- Competed 6 (16%)
A standalone contract that was open to bids.
- Order (single-award IDIQ) 4 (11%)
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.
- Open to all 28 (76%)
No set-aside: any size of business could bid.
- Veteran-owned 8 (22%)

- Small business 1 (3%)
Only small businesses could bid.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 36C24922A0004 | Single-award | 4 | Nov 30, 2026 |
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.
