Agency mix and customer concentration
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention represents the dominant customer relationship, with $1.67 billion across 81 awards and far more obligated value than all other agencies combined. Secondary activity is limited: the Federal Prison System/Bureau of Prisons totaled $1.83 million across 19 awards, while the Department of Veterans Affairs, Agricultural Research Service, and Indian Health Service each contributed minimal value.
Industry profile based on NAICS activity
Award activity is concentrated in NAICS 493120, Refrigerated Warehousing and Storage, at $1.09 billion across 53 awards, and NAICS 325412, Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing, at $581.26 million across 47 awards. The remaining NAICS codes appear only sporadically and contribute negligible obligated value, indicating a narrow contracting footprint centered on pharmaceutical distribution and related storage services.
Annual contract trend over the analysis window
Annual obligations were volatile in the most recent years, with positive totals in 2021, 2022, and 2025, and negative totals in 2023 and 2024. The negative annual figures indicate contract modifications, deobligations, or corrections in the FPDS record set rather than net new award volume.
How to interpret this page
This summary uses FPDS award records for the last 10 years and groups obligations by vendor, agency, NAICS code, and fiscal year. Amounts are shown as reported obligated dollars; negative values are retained because they may reflect deobligations or adjustments in the source data.
