Competition and Bidding Data as an Indicator of the Health of the U.S. Defense Industrial Base
Abstract
Methodology: The Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) was the primary source for this electronic data summary for 2000-2014. Federal regulations require only that all unclassified prime contracts worth $2,500 and above be reported to FPDS. FPDS data are constantly being updated, including those for back years. As a consequence, the dollar totals for a given year may have changed since the data was downloaded. Overseas Contingency Operations funding and other supplemental appropriations are not separately classified in FPDS. CSIS defines effective competition as competitively sourced contracts that receive two or more offers. All dollar figures are in constant 2014 dollars.
