What is in every report

  • How the office buys. Five years of construction spending, set-aside use, contract vehicles, competition and the time of year the money moves.
  • The firms that win its work. Award counts, obligations, average and largest awards, market share and every socioeconomic designation: SDVOSB, VOSB, WOSB, 8(a), HUBZone and more.
  • The requirement against the market. Each site, trade and respondent ask in the notice, tested against the award record, including coverage by location and bonding readiness.
  • The wider market. How other agencies buy construction in the same region and which firms they use.
  • Supply chain and costs. Who the winners subcontract to, and where material and bid prices are heading.
  • Competitors and openings. The firms you would face, new entrants, vehicle holders without orders, and a positioning strategy.
