Construction contract in a cold-climate state awarded during winter months (Dec-Feb). Outdoor construction during winter faces weather limitations.

Awards in this procurement context show high vendor concentration (elevated HHI). A small number of contractors receive a disproportionate share of awards, which may indicate limited market engagement or barriers to entry.
