Direct awards dominate here. 47.1% of this buyer's contracts skip competition. The play is positioning one re-compete cycle early — study the direct-award grounds in their published record and be the named supplier before the next one is written.
Average award value is high — expect formal RFP processes, securities, and long evaluation cycles. Team depth matters more than speed.
