Find your recompete opportunities →Methodology
Source: USAspending/FPDS federal contract data in BidSparq. 'Expiring' = current period-of-performance end date (the recompete trigger) within the window. Dollar figures sum total/obligated award value for the 124,926 of 125,757 expiring contracts with a disclosed amount. IDV parent records (GWACs, IDIQs, BPAs, schedules) are EXCLUDED from all figures: their amounts are vehicle ceilings, often shared across many holders, and summing them overstates the market by trillions. Expiring vehicles are tracked separately. Competed/sole-source split uses the FPDS extent-competed field. Some agencies (DOE, NASA) are concentrated in large R&D/M&O awards; see the agency table.
Of the 124,926 expiring contracts with a disclosed value, $567.1B (101,347 contracts) were competitively awarded: the most actionable recompete pool.
