Summary Query Logic

The headline metrics on this page come from dedicated KPI and share-of-total query blocks. These precomputed queries define the numeric baseline for the rest of the analysis.

Query Used — Summary Metrics

SELECT
     sum(content__award__dollarValues__obligatedAmount) AS total_obligated,
    count() AS award_count,
    sum(content__award__dollarValues__obligatedAmount) / nullIf(count(),
    0) AS avg_award_size

     fpds.data 
WHERE
     contract_type = 1
    AND content__award__competition__extentCompeted = 'D'
    AND content__award__relevantContractDates__signedDate != ''

Explanation

This query aggregates federal contract awards that were made through full and open competition after excluding certain sources, identified by a specific competition type and valid signed dates. It calculates the total obligated amount, the number of awards, and the average award size for these contracts. Each result represents the overall procurement activity under this competition category, showing the scale and frequency of awards where competition was open but some sources were excluded. Analysts should interpret these metrics as key indicators of market participation and contracting behavior in this subset of federal awards. This section supports decisions related to evaluating the effectiveness and prevalence of full and open competition after source exclusion, helping to identify trends in agency contracting strategies and potential areas for market entry or policy review. Follow-up questions might include examining agency-specific performance, vendor diversity, or year-over-year changes in these metrics.

Query Used — Share of Total Spending

SELECT
     sumIf(content__award__dollarValues__obligatedAmount,
    content__award__competition__extentCompeted = 'D') AS filtered_obligated,
    sum(content__award__dollarValues__obligatedAmount) AS total_obligated,

FROM
     fpds.data 
WHERE
     contract_type = 1
    AND content__award__relevantContractDates__signedDate != ''

Explanation

This query aggregates total obligated amounts for federal contracts awarded under full and open competition after exclusion of sources, identified by a specific competition code. It calculates the sum of obligated dollars for these contracts and compares it to the total obligations for all fixed-price contracts with valid signed dates, producing a percentage share. Each result row quantifies the absolute spending and relative share of this competition type within the broader fixed-price contract universe. Analysts should interpret this section as a measure of how much federal procurement spending is conducted through this competitive mechanism, reflecting its prevalence and fiscal impact. This insight supports market researchers and contractors in assessing competitive dynamics and identifying opportunities or risks associated with this contracting method. Follow-up questions may include examining agency-level variations, vendor participation, or trends over time to better understand shifts in competition strategies.

Explanation

This query aggregates federal contract awards classified as full and open competition after exclusion of sources by fiscal year, summing the total obligated amounts and counting the number of awards each year. Each row in the output represents the total dollar value obligated and the count of contract awards meeting these criteria within a specific fiscal year, providing a longitudinal view of procurement activity under this competition type. Analysts should interpret these results as a trend analysis tool to assess how obligations and award volumes have evolved over time, indicating shifts in contracting behavior or policy impact. This section supports decisions related to market entry strategies, budget forecasting, and competitive landscape assessments by highlighting years with significant changes in contract activity. It also prompts follow-up questions about factors driving fluctuations in obligations or award counts, such as regulatory changes or agency priorities.

Overall Conclusion

Federal contracts awarded through full and open competition after exclusion of sources represent a substantial market segment, with total obligations exceeding $1.5 trillion across more than 11 million awards. This category accounts for approximately 9 percent of federal contracting dollars, indicating a significant but not dominant share of overall procurement activity. Award sizes average around $134,000, reflecting a mix of both high-volume, lower-value transactions and larger individual contracts. The market shows strong concentration within defense-related agencies, with the Department of the Army, Navy, and Air Force collectively responsible for over $800 billion in obligations, highlighting the strategic importance of this competition type in military procurement. Vendor concentration is notable as well, with a handful of companies such as Atlantic Diving Supply and Huntington Ingalls receiving multi-billion dollar awards, suggesting a limited pool of suppliers capable of meeting the specialized requirements inherent to these contracts. Historical trends indicate that this contracting method has grown substantially since the 1980s, though early data show sporadic activity before stabilizing into a consistent pattern of large-scale spending. For analysts, contractors, and procurement researchers, this page underscores the importance of monitoring agency-specific procurement behaviors and vendor performance within this competition framework to identify opportunities and assess market dynamics. The data provide a foundation for evaluating how exclusion of sources influences competition intensity and vendor participation in federal contracting.
