record span
A mixed record. 29.7% no-tender, the rest competed. Run both plays: competitive discipline on the posted opportunities, relationship positioning for the direct-award stream.
Award sizes suit small and mid-size firms: many contracts, fast cycles, and responsiveness beats depth in most of them.
