Who is the contractor on this award?
The obligated recipient is GRAY CONSTRUCTION, INC..
Which agency awarded this contract?
Awarding agency: Department of Defense (Department of the Navy).
What is the total obligated amount?
The obligated amount is $21.3 million.
What is the period of performance?

What was the specific scope of work for the "OTHER INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS" and how does the $21.3 million price compare to similar projects?
The provided data lacks specific details on the scope of work for the industrial buildings. A comprehensive comparison would require access to detailed project specifications, architectural plans, and cost breakdowns. Without this, it's challenging to definitively assess if $21.3 million represents optimal value. Further investigation into the nature of the buildings (e.g., size, complexity, materials) is needed.
Given the contract's duration of over 7 years, what mechanisms were in place to mitigate risks associated with potential cost increases or schedule delays?
The contract utilized a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) type, which generally shifts cost risk to the contractor. However, for long-duration contracts, mechanisms like economic price adjustments or clear change order procedures are crucial. The data does not specify these details, but the FFP structure suggests an intent to cap costs. The long duration itself, however, remains a potential risk factor for unforeseen issues.
How effectively did the full and open competition process ensure the best possible outcome for this significant construction project?
The full and open competition is a positive indicator for achieving a competitive price and selecting a capable contractor. The success of this process hinges on the clarity of the solicitation, the responsiveness of bidders, and the thoroughness of the evaluation. While the FFP structure and competitive award suggest a good outcome, the long contract duration warrants ongoing monitoring to ensure continued effectiveness and value realization.
