Analysis

This page summarizes FPDS Query results for Not Competed Under SAP Federal Contracts. It shows how much federal contract value falls into this procurement pattern, how many awards match the filter, and which agencies and vendors account for the largest share of obligations in the current result set.

The available trend series runs from FY 1986 to FY 2026. This makes it possible to evaluate whether the pattern is stable across time, expanding, declining, or concentrated in specific fiscal periods.

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

Explanation

This query aggregates federal contract awards classified as not competed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) by summing the total obligated amounts and counting the number of awards where the contract type indicates SAP and the extent of competition is marked as "G" (not competed). The resulting output table presents three key metrics: the total obligated dollars, the total count of awards, and the average award size calculated by dividing total obligations by award count. Each row represents a consolidated summary of all such SAP contracts within the specified timeframe, reflecting the overall scale and frequency of non-competitive awards. Analysts should interpret these summary metrics as core indicators of the volume and financial magnitude of federal procurements awarded without competition under SAP. This section supports decisions related to assessing market competition, identifying potential areas for increased competition, and monitoring agency compliance with procurement regulations. Follow-up questions may include examining trends over time, agency-specific breakdowns, or vendor concentration within these non-competitive SAP awards.

Query Used — Share of Total Spending

SELECT
     sumIf(content__award__dollarValues__obligatedAmount,
    content__award__competition__extentCompeted = 'G') AS filtered_obligated,
    sum(content__award__dollarValues__obligatedAmount) AS total_obligated,
    filtered_obligated / total_obligated * 100 AS share_percent 
FROM
     fpds.data 
WHERE
     contract_type = 1
    AND content__award__relevantContractDates__signedDate != ''

Explanation

This query aggregates total obligated amounts for federal contracts awarded under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) that were not competed, identified by the competition extent labeled as 'G'. It compares these filtered obligations against the total obligations for all federal contracts of type 1, representing standard procurement contracts, within the specified date range. Each result row quantifies the dollar value of non-competed SAP awards, the overall contract spending, and the percentage share that non-competed SAP awards represent of total obligations. Analysts should interpret this section as a measure of how much federal spending bypasses competitive processes under SAP, providing insight into procurement efficiency and risk exposure. This information supports decisions related to policy evaluation, compliance monitoring, and identifying areas where competition could potentially be increased to enhance transparency and value. Follow-up questions might include examining agency-level variations, vendor concentration, or trends over time to better understand the drivers behind non-competitive SAP awards.

Explanation

This query aggregates federal contract awards that were not competed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) by fiscal year, summing the total obligated amounts and counting the number of awards each year. Each row in the output table represents a single fiscal year, showing the cumulative dollar value obligated to these non-competed SAP contracts alongside the total number of such awards issued during that period. Analysts should read this table as a longitudinal view of federal spending and award volume where competition was waived under SAP, enabling identification of trends in procurement activity over time. This section supports analytical efforts to assess how reliance on non-competitive SAP contracts has evolved, informing decisions about market competition, risk management, and policy compliance. Follow-up questions might include investigating the agencies driving these trends, vendor concentration, or the impact on contract pricing and performance.

Explanation

This query identifies the top vendors receiving federal contract awards that were not competed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP), filtering specifically for contract type 1 and awards marked as “not competed.” Each row in the output table represents a single vendor, showing the total obligated amount awarded to that vendor and the count of awards they received within the filtered criteria. Analysts should interpret these results as a ranking of vendors by the dollar value of non-competitively awarded SAP contracts, highlighting those entities that dominate this segment of federal procurement. This section supports market research by revealing concentration patterns and potential reliance on specific vendors in non-competitive SAP awards. It also informs risk assessments and strategic sourcing decisions by identifying vendors with significant obligations that may warrant further scrutiny or engagement. Follow-up questions might include examining the nature of goods or services procured, agency distribution, or trends over time to better understand the drivers behind these non-competitive awards.

Overall Conclusion

Federal contracts awarded without competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) represent a substantial market segment, with total obligations exceeding $113.5 billion across more than 5.3 million awards. The average award size is relatively modest at approximately $21,300, reflecting the SAP’s role in facilitating streamlined, lower-dollar transactions. Spending is heavily concentrated within a handful of agencies, notably the Department of the Army, Department of the Navy, Defense Logistics Agency, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department of the Air Force, which collectively account for the majority of obligations and award counts. Vendor concentration is notable but less extreme, with top contractors such as Frederick SAIC Inc. and Insight Public Sector, Inc. receiving multi-billion-dollar shares, yet the large number of awards suggests a broad vendor base participates in this procurement channel. Historical trends indicate that while early SAP obligations were minimal, the volume and value of awards have grown significantly over time, underscoring the increasing reliance on non-competitive simplified acquisitions. For analysts, this data highlights the importance of monitoring SAP awards to understand government spending patterns in lower-threshold procurements and to identify potential areas of vendor opportunity or risk. Contractors should recognize that while individual awards may be small, cumulative obligations through SAP represent a significant revenue stream, especially with key defense and veterans affairs agencies. Procurement researchers can use these insights to assess the balance between acquisition efficiency and competition, as well as to evaluate the implications of non-competitive awards on market dynamics and federal spending transparency.
