W50S9C20B0003 2020 Consolidated Projects 3

Only one company submitted a bid. Reduced competition may indicate barriers to entry, poor solicitation visibility, or pre-determined outcomes.

Awarded 2020-09-25 — 5 days before fiscal year end (Sep 30). End-of-year awards often have compressed timelines and reduced oversight.

This awardee has won multiple consecutive awards from the same agency. Incumbent advantage is common, but repeated wins without rotation may indicate barriers to new entrants.

This solicitation received significantly fewer bidders than the historical average for this agency and NAICS code. Sudden drops in competition may indicate restrictive specs.

The Government Accountability Office has identified contract management challenges in this agency's operational area, recommending strengthened management controls. This is a systemic observation about the procurement environment, not a reflection on any individual contract or contractor.
