237130: Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction

Buyers under this code are mostly Navy and Army Corps of Engineers offices. NAVFACSYSCOM Southwest has the most awards, 769, worth $1.40B. The Middle East district (W076) has 65 awards worth $1.13B, and Jacksonville (W074) has only 4 awards worth $509.48M. The notice does not say how each office buys, such as whether it uses full competition or task orders. Across 13,334 awards and $12.85B from FY2001 to FY2027, 1,285 distinct vendors won work. Most awards went with no set-aside recorded, at 7,025. Smaller set-aside codes appear far less often, including SBA at 2,504, 8AN at 1,610, and 8A at 420.

The median award is $37.3K, but the average works out to roughly $964K. That gap means a small number of very large awards carry most of the dollars, while most awards are small. A small firm can find steady work in the lower range, though the notice does not say how many of those awards go to firms of each size. Large suppliers should look at the high-dollar buyers, where a few awards account for a large share of value. The notice does not show how many bidders typically compete on each award, so competition levels cannot be judged from this data.

Over the next year, watch the 240 contracts worth $659.71M that end within 12 months. Those are likely to be rebid, so they are the most direct near-term openings. There are also 30 active notices now. Firms should check which set-aside codes apply to each one before they plan a bid, because eligibility depends on the program named. The notice does not say when the next awards will be made or whether current contracts will be extended.
