Offer counts, set-aside and contracting office exist only on per-award detail records; 34 of the 35 analyzed awards were examined in detail. All 34 awards with a detail record on file, out of 35 analyzed, were examined. Award value, dates, supplier name and supplier location are known for all 35.
What have comparable awards been worth?
The mean ($137K) is substantially above the median ($35K) because several unusually large awards are included — the largest 10% of awards account for 64% of total observed value. The median is the better guide to a typical award.
| Count | 35 |
| Minimum | $2,280 |
| 25th percentile | $16,655 |
| Median | $34,850 |
| 75th percentile | $126,133 |

| Mean | $137,494 |
| Standard deviation | $308,776 |
| Interquartile range | $109,478 |
| Coefficient of variation | 2.25 |
| Total | $4,812,276 |
Percentiles use linear interpolation — the same definition as a spreadsheet's PERCENTILE function. 0 records with a non-positive amount were excluded as administrative modifications rather than work anyone bid for.
"Award amount" is obligations recorded against the award to date — not the contract ceiling, and not outlays. Based on 35 analyzed awards.
Of the 34 awards examined in detail, 34 carried a recorded ceiling (Base and All Options Value). Its median was $35,273, against a median obligated amount of $35,273 across the same 34 awards — 1.0x. 29 of those had a ceiling equal to the obligated amount, meaning no unexercised option value.
The ceiling is what the award could reach if every priced option were exercised — it is not spending that has happened or a forecast that it will.

computed over every supplier in the 35 analyzed awards
The sum of each supplier's percentage share, squared. Every analyzed award is attributed to a supplier, so this is exact for this population. US antitrust agencies read below 1,500 as unconcentrated and 2,500+ as highly concentrated.
These are shares of the federal awards analyzed here, not commercial market share in this sector. Share of observed value and share of award count are different metrics and can differ sharply for the same supplier.

Contracting office appears only on detail records, so this covers the 34 awards examined in detail, out of 35 analyzed. Concentration at a single office may indicate a recurring requirement specific to that office.
Are there recurring suppliers worth investigating as possible incumbents?
Public procurement data has no incumbent field. What follows is a pattern extracted mechanically from award records. It does not establish that any supplier currently holds this work, or that it will win the next award. Treat it as a starting point for research.

Supplier location is an observed characteristic, not a statement of eligibility.

Eligibility is set by this solicitation.

Does a set-aside restrict who may bid?

Small Business Set Aside - Total
As stated on SAM.gov
Comparable historical awards
Of the 34 awards examined in detail, 34 had a recorded set-aside status
The historical distribution is descriptive only and does not determine eligibility for this solicitation. Review the notice and SAM.gov for the eligibility and restrictions that apply, including any bearing on non-U.S. entities.
What is observed, what it may mean, and what it does not establish
A possible implication is an interpretation, not a finding. Public award data cannot establish cause.
What to verify before deciding whether to pursue this
Who performed the most recent comparable award, and what does the public record show about it?
← The most recent comparable award started 2026-06-12.
Is the same supplier repeatedly serving this contracting office, and is there evidence of an incumbent relationship?
← ATLANTIC DIVING SUPPLY, INC. holds 5 of the analyzed comparable awards.
Are comparable requirements typically competed, or does the record show limited-source procedures?
← Of the 34 awards with a recorded competition procedure, the most common is "COMPETED UNDER SAP".
Could the awards not examined in detail show a different pattern of offers or set-asides?
← 1 analyzed awards have no detail record retrieved.
Are awards concentrated among a small number of suppliers, and are the larger awards concentrated among particular ones?
← The top five suppliers hold 79% of observed value.
How much comparable work has gone to Japan-based suppliers, and is there evidence of subcontracting or teaming?
← 9 of the 35 awards with a known supplier country went to Japan-based firms.
How many contracting offices buy this, or is it one office's recurring requirement?
← The 35 analyzed awards span 10 contracting offices.
What eligibility and registration requirements appear in this notice — SAM registration, NCAGE, export controls, installation access?
What is missing from the public record, and what should be raised with the contracting office during the question period?
How complete and reliable is the evidence?
Missingness by field
| Field | Missing | Of | Missing share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Award amount | 0 | 35 | 0.0% |
| Award start date | 0 | 35 | 0.0% |
| Supplier name | 0 | 35 | 0.0% |
| Supplier UEI (identifier used to resolve entities) | 0 | 35 | 0.0% |
| Reported offer count (of records examined in detail) | 0 | 34 | 0.0% |
| Supplier country | 0 | 35 | 0.0% |
| Set-aside (of records examined in detail) | 0 | 34 | 0.0% |
| Contracting office (of records examined in detail) | 0 | 34 | 0.0% |
| Award description | 0 | 35 | 0.0% |
The denominator differs by field because offer count, set-aside and contracting office exist only on per-award detail records. Those rows are measured against the number of detail records fetched, not against the whole analyzed set.
What remains unknown after everything above
These are structural limits of published federal procurement data, not gaps in this analysis. Where one of them matters to a bid decision, it has to be answered outside the public record — through the solicitation's question period or your own market research.
