Value Assessment
Rating: questionable

Cost Per Unit: N/A
Competition Analysis
Competition Level: limited
The contract was explicitly stated as 'NOT AVAILABLE FOR COMPETITION', indicating a limited competition approach. This significantly restricts price discovery and potentially leads to higher costs compared to a fully competitive process.
Taxpayer Impact: The lack of competition for a $20.8M contract raises concerns about taxpayer value. Without competitive bidding, it's harder to ensure the government received the best possible price for these IT services.
Public Impact
Military base IT infrastructure relies on consistent support. Contractors providing these services are crucial for operational readiness. Potential for cost overruns due to limited competition. Impacts personnel productivity and data security at Fort Belvoir.

Sector Analysis
This contract falls within the IT services sector, specifically focusing on computer facilities management. Spending in this area is critical for government operations, but benchmarks are highly variable based on scope and location. The $20.8M value over nearly three years is substantial for a single installation's support.
Small Business Impact
The data indicates this contract was awarded to 'ALL NATIVE, INC.', but does not specify if it is a small business. The 'sb' field is false, suggesting it was not awarded under small business set-aside provisions.
Oversight & Accountability
The 'NOT AVAILABLE FOR COMPETITION' status warrants further oversight to ensure the justification for limited competition was sound and that the pricing was appropriately scrutinized. Post-award monitoring would be key to managing costs effectively.
