NAICS 5413 pursuit brief

Awards by fiscal year

A partial fiscal year is still in progress. The other sections use complete fiscal years only (FY2020–FY2026).

Who buys

The biggest buyers by obligations, FY2020–FY2026, with each one's busiest months and the share of its awards made in July to September (the fourth fiscal quarter).

When they buy

Awards by month of the fiscal year (October to September), FY2020–FY2026. July to September held 43.7% of the awards.

Past awardees

The recipients with the most obligations, FY2020–FY2026 (by UEI, no parent company roll-up). Past awards only: this list says nothing about who will win the next contract. Last action is the newest action on a recipient's awards in these years, so it can fall after FY2026 (later modifications).

Award size and competition

Award size, FY2020–FY2026: a quarter of the awards were $41,536 or less, half were $179,993 or less (the median), and three quarters were $708,665 or less.

Set-aside mix

11 smaller categories under 0.1% of the obligations not listed. An order without a set-aside of its own takes its parent IDV's: 79,292 of these awards did.

Source and definitions

USAspending contract prime awards, award types A-D (definitive contracts, purchase orders, delivery and task orders; IDVs are excluded, their spend shows on the orders under them). NAICS = the award's naics_code; a 4-digit code covers its 6-digit codes. FY = federal fiscal year of the award's base action date; obligated = obligations to date on those awards (total_obligated_amount), so older FYs include later modifications. fy covers fy_from..n (n = the current FY, partial: true; it is still filling in, DoD reports with a ~90-day lag). The window (window totals, award size, buying months, top lists, set-aside and competition mixes, children) covers the complete FYs only (window_fys). Award size p25/median/p75: over awards with obligations > 0. Buying month = calendar month of the base action date, in fiscal order (October first). Agencies = awarding agency (sub-agency under it); recipients by UEI, no parent roll-up; ranked by obligated; pct_of_spend = share of the window's obligations, in percent. recipients (per FY and window) = distinct UEIs. A top recipient's last_action_date is the newest latest action date of its window awards (it can fall after the window: later modifications), fys_active the number of window FYs with one of its awards. set_aside and extent_competed: every type_of_set_aside / extent_competed value over the window (code and name null = not reported); an order without a set-aside of its own takes its parent IDV's (awards_from_parent_idv counts them). as_of = the newest last_modified_date in the data. Amounts are US dollars, sums rounded to the cent.
