Prime Contract Awards, Size Distribution Fiscal Year 1988

Abstract

This report provides data on prime contract actions (PCA's) over $25, 000 awarded by the Department of Defense (DoD) in Fiscal Year 1988. For reporting purposes, contracts have been distributed by dollar value into 11 different size categories. The tables provide information on the number of total actions, their net value, and their percent distribution, by size and according to a variety of categories, including defense component, type of contract action taken, selected procurement programs, and labor standard statutes. Table 1 presents data by individual size category (e.g., $25,000 to $49,000, $50,000 to $99,000) while Tables 2 through 7 present data in cumulative categories (e.g., $25,000 or more; $50,000 or more). This information assists DoD management in projecting the workload that will be required by various proposed projects. For example, using data in this publication, DoD officials could determine that a proposal to review all contract actions of $500,000 or more in FY 1988 would require examining approximately 33,000 transactions. These data can also be used to identify trends in DoD procurement, e.g., to identify which of the various types of contracts was most frequently awarded (in terms of number of contract actions) during FY 1988. Beginning in FY 1986, Tables 7 and 8 were added to show selected procurement programs and labor standard statute statistics. It should also be noted that in FY 1986, Table 4 had been changed to report the latest methodology for computing the extent of competed data.
