- Not competed 17 (40%)
Sole-source: only one company was asked.
- Order (single-award IDIQ) 5 (12%)
A task order under an IDIQ held by one company. No new competition, so it is left out of bid statistics.

- Veteran-owned 18 (43%)

- Small business 3 (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.
