Avoiding Terminations, Single Offer Competition, and Costly Changes with Fixed Price Contracts

Abstract

This slide describes the overall methodology employed to develop this dataset. Aggregated data downloads from FPDS are unavailable for pre-2000 data, requiring a different approach. The data set of approximately six million entries includes all contracts in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) completed between FY2007 and FY2013. 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. All dollar figures are in current dollars because contract ceilings do not account for inflation.
