Repair Command Post PTFL 182101 2

Awarded 2018-08-18 — 43 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.

Post-award modifications total 90% of the original award. Change orders exceeding 50% suggest scope creep, poor initial estimates, or intentional low-bidding.

This contract was awarded on a Saturday. Federal awards are typically processed on business days. Weekend processing may indicate urgency or reduced oversight.

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.
