Truax Field Construct Small Arms, Madison, WI 4

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

Awarded 2022-08-29 — 32 days before fiscal year end (Sep 30). End-of-year awards often have compressed timelines and reduced oversight.

This contract has unrealized obligation backlog — funds committed but work not yet performed. This can indicate project delays or budget holds.

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.
