Figures on this page are computed from public federal award records. Numbers are never estimated or generated; where a figure is withheld, the reason is stated rather than filled in.
Distribution of current award value across comparable awards. Indefinite delivery vehicles are excluded because their ceiling values are not comparable to individual awards. Values beyond 3 times the interquartile range outside the first and third quartiles are excluded, as are values of zero or less. A cohort is published only when at least 10 comparable awards remain after exclusions. Awards whose category classification is below the confidence threshold are excluded from these statistics.
