Across FY2001 to FY2026, the code shows 8,998 awards totaling $367.20M, spread among 471 distinct vendors. The median award is only $9.7K, so most purchases are small, though a few are very large. Most awards, 6,388, carry no set-aside. Small business set-asides under SBA are next at 2,180, and the rest are few: 8(a) at 21, SDVOSBC at 12, RSB at 10, SBP at 8, and WOSB at 4. The notice records 371 awards with no set-aside information. Because most awards are unrestricted, a firm of any size may compete for much of this work. The notice does not explain why the set-aside mix looks this way.

For the next year, the notice shows 6 active notices and 55 contracts ending within 12 months, worth $5.82M in total. Those expiring contracts are the most direct signal of upcoming requirements, though the notice does not say whether each will be recompeted, extended, or bought another way. Firms should also watch the top buyers' active notices, since those offices account for most of the volume. The notice does not give a forecast for future award totals or vendor counts.
