About BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS federal contract activity
Over the last 10 years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics recorded $363.00 million in obligations across 2,646 awards, with an average award value of $137,188.89. The profile indicates a high volume of relatively small obligations, consistent with a mix of recurring service buys, IT support, and research-related procurement.
Vendor concentration and leading contractors
Vendor spend is moderately concentrated but spread across multiple recurring suppliers. OFFICE REMEDIES INCORPORATED leads with $56.99 million across 46 awards, followed by OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, THE at $50.21 million across 42 awards and BAE SYSTEMS INFORMATION SOLUTIONS, INC. at $44.20 million across 118 awards. The appearance of both OFFICE REMEDIES INCORPORATED and OFFICE REMEDIES, INC suggests separate FPDS vendor records that may represent related or duplicated naming conventions.
Industry profile based on NAICS activity
Obligations are concentrated in information technology, management consulting, and social science research. NAICS 541519 accounts for $115.69 million across 743 awards, followed by 541611 at $91.86 million across 142 awards and 541720 at $50.30 million across 58 awards. Smaller but still material activity appears in custom programming and computer/software retail categories, reinforcing the agency’s reliance on technical and analytical support services.
Annual contract trend over the analysis window
Annual obligations in the available years peaked in 2019 at $100.11 million across 471 awards, after strong activity in 2016 through 2018. Funding then declined sharply in 2020 to $15.39 million across 106 awards. Award counts fell in parallel, indicating a contraction in procurement volume rather than just a shift toward larger awards.
