Annual contract trend over the analysis window
The analysis window contains a single annual observation for 2025, with 2.08 billion obligated across 1,649 awards. Because only one year is shown, the data support a level view rather than a multi-year growth or decline assessment. The 2025 baseline indicates sustained, large-scale procurement activity in the current period.
