By volume, Office of the Secretary of Defense places 8 awards, Army European Command 7, and Coast Guard 6. The portfolio spans 47 distinct federal customer agencies including Special Operations Command, Department of State, Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security, and Transportation Command.

Activity has grown modestly — 3 awards in 2022 to 14 in 2024 — with 2 awards (combined potential value $493 thousand) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months and facing recompete. The source documents obligated dollars of $26.8 million across a stated combined potential value of $21.7 million, indicating substantial prior execution against ceiling values.
