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

Awarded 2018-09-27 — 3 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.

Contract value is just below a simplified acquisition threshold. Contracts priced just below review thresholds may indicate structuring to avoid 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.
