The delivery orders ranged in value from as low as $2,520 to as high as $210,669, with most task orders employing firm fixed-price pricing. Multiple small businesses were frequent awardees, with many task orders designated as "Total Small Business" set-asides, including contractors such as Transect Archaeology, Logan Simpson Design, and others.
