Prime Contract Awards, Size Distribution. Fiscal Year 1989

Abstract

This report provides data on prime contract actions (PCAs) over $25, 000 awarded by the Department of Defense (DoD) in Fiscal Year (FY) 1989. 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 involved, extent of competed procurements, kind of contract action taken, selected procurement programs, and labor standard statutes. The information in Prime Contract Awards, Size Distribution, 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 1989 would require examining approximately 26,000 transactions. These data can also be used to identify trends in DoD procurement, e.g., to identify which of the various types of contracts were most frequently awarded (in terms of number of contract actions) during FY 1989.
