Bureau of Economic Analysis

The Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis, a sub-agency of the cabinet department focused on statistical and economic data infrastructure, procures information technology, data analytics, and administrative services to support its mission of compiling and distributing economic accounts and analysis products.

The Bureau has awarded 962 federal contracts cumulatively since 1988, with recent activity trending downward: 74 awards in 2022, 83 in 2023, 65 in 2024, 38 in 2025, and 35 year-to-date in 2026. Combined contract potential value stands at $357.5 million, with $271.8 million obligated to date (76% of potential). The procurement landscape is highly fragmented across 339 distinct prime contractors over the portfolio lifetime.

Among active primes over the last five years, award concentration is highly fragmented by count (top five cover 23% of recent awards) but even more dispersed by value (top five cover 7% of combined potential value). Graham Inc. leads by award frequency with 28 awards totaling $3.2 million in combined potential value, followed by Thundercat Technology, LLC with 13 awards and $4.1 million. Dell Federal Systems L.P. holds the highest value concentration with $13.7 million across 6 awards, but even this represents a small share of total contracting activity. The remaining competitive field includes Disys Solutions, Inc., Government Acquisitions LLC, and Novak Birch, Inc. as secondary participants, with a long tail of smaller, episodic vendors.

Set-aside designations are negligible across the portfolio: 83 percent of awards carry no set-aside (800 awards), while total small-business awards account for 12 percent (114 awards). Minority and women-owned designations—8(a) sole source, service-disabled veteran-owned, woman-owned, competitive 8(a), and HUBZone combined—represent 3 percent of all awards (29 awards total).

No recent contract opportunities are recorded in the source data.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis produces economic accounts statistics that enable government and business decision–makers, researchers, and the American public to follow and understand the performance of the Nation's economy.
