INPUT/Output: Top 20 Federal Opportunities for FY 2010 (Oct 2009)

This INPUT/Output report identifies the most significant federal contract opportunities for the coming year with a range of $250 million to $50 billion in value.

Description

At the beginning of each fiscal year, INPUT identifies and assesses major upcoming federal contract opportunities and presents the findings in a report, the Top 20 Federal Business Opportunities of FY2010. This report analyzes the impact first year decisions of the Obama administration have made on acquisition and government contracting at civilian and defense agencies, and forecasts the paths to the top opportunities in the coming year and beyond. These opportunities reach across the broad spectrum of federal agencies: the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, National Institute of Health, General Services Administration, Department of Justice, and the Department of Defense. Altogether, the Top 20 Opportunities represent $180 billion worth of viable programs for prime contractors and smaller businesses alike.

Key Points:

• Most of the work going through these contracts is ongoing work, or continuing work; there are very few new programs up for bid this year. Many of the recompetes are in the areas of information technology services, engineering services and professional services for the administration.
• There is a pronounced shift away from large system integrator contracts towards task/delivery order based vehicles and consolidation efforts. Government-Wide Acquisition Vehicles (GWACs) will continue to present a greater range of opportunities with entrance into multiple agencies.
• Civilian agencies, that have historically played a minority role in the Top 20, have soared to the forefront accounting for over 60 percent of the total contract value. Similarly, the overall contract value of $180 billion far exceeds last year's list valued at $120 billion.
