Competition Analysis

Competition Level: limited

The contract was awarded via 'FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION AFTER EXCLUSION OF SOURCES,' indicating a limited competition approach. This method may impact price discovery compared to unrestricted full and open competition, potentially leading to less competitive pricing.

Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer impact is likely neutral to slightly positive, as the addition of facility managers aims to improve efficiency and potentially reduce long-term facility costs, justifying the $2.47M expenditure.

Public Impact

Improved facility operations and maintenance across multiple GSA regions. Enhanced support for federal buildings and infrastructure in the western United States. Potential for cost savings through better facility management practices. Streamlined administrative processes for GSA personnel in affected areas.

Waste & Efficiency Indicators

Warning Flags

Limited competition may not yield the best possible price.
Scope creep potential if facility management needs exceed initial estimates.

Positive Signals

Leverages existing contract vehicle for efficiency.
Focuses on critical infrastructure support for GSA.

Sector Analysis

This contract falls under Office Administrative Services (NAICS 561110), which is a common support service for federal agencies. Spending benchmarks for administrative and facility support services vary widely based on scope and location, but $2.47M for two years for multiple regions suggests a moderate investment.

Small Business Impact

The data indicates this contract was not awarded to a small business (sb: false). There is no specific analysis provided on how this award impacts small business participation or opportunities within the administrative support or facility management sectors for these regions.

Oversight & Accountability

The contract was awarded as a delivery order under an existing contract, suggesting some level of prior oversight. However, the 'limited competition' aspect warrants scrutiny to ensure fair pricing and value for taxpayers. Further oversight should focus on performance metrics and cost control.
