All of its federal contract awards have been issued without specific set-aside designations, and the company has consistently served as the prime contractor. The contract values have ranged from as low as $195 to as high as $22,400, with most individual task orders falling between $5,000 and $15,000. These contracts have consistently been structured as firm fixed-price blanket purchase agreement (BPA) call orders, indicating a flexible and adaptable service delivery model.
