Awards recorded through Oct 22, 2026
Snapshot computed Oct 22, 2026
Withheld: 6,255 awards in the last twelve months against 566 the year before is a gap in source coverage, not a market change
Box: 25th to 75th percentile. Line: median. Whiskers: 10th to 90th percentile. The lowest and highest tenth of awards lie beyond the whiskers and are not drawn.
What the distribution shows
Half of the 7,746 comparable equipment maintenance and repair awards were worth less than $44,687, and half were worth more.
The middle half ran from $20,000 to $106,358. The 75th percentile is 5.3 times the 25th, a wide spread, so the scope of a particular requirement matters more than the category label.
The mean is $83,946, 1.9 times the median. A minority of large awards pulls the average up, which is why the median is the headline figure.
2,830 contractors won these awards from 27 awarding agencies.
Each figure is the total current value of an award, including modifications to date. It is not an hourly rate, a unit price, or an annual cost.
Over time
The median award value for each federal fiscal year, from the published price index.

Questions about this benchmark
- What is a typical equipment maintenance and repair federal contract worth?
- The median current award value is $44,687, across 7,746 comparable awards in the snapshot computed Oct 22, 2026. Half of the awards in the sample were worth less.
- What range do most equipment maintenance and repair awards fall in?
- The middle half of awards ran from $20,000 to $106,358. One in ten was below $9,217, and one in ten above $219,264.
- Are equipment maintenance and repair award values rising or falling?
- No change is published. Oct 22, 2025 to Oct 21, 2026 holds 6,255 awards against 566 for Oct 22, 2024 to Oct 21, 2025; a gap that wide reflects how completely the source records are loaded, not a change in the market.
- Which agency awards the most equipment maintenance and repair contracts?
- Among agencies with enough awards to publish their own figure, Department of Veterans Affairs has the most: 3,231 awards with a median of $57,990.
- Where is equipment maintenance and repair work performed?
- By place of performance, the states with the most published awards are Maryland (746), California (730), and Texas (408).
- Why are some equipment maintenance and repair awards not counted?
- As the records stand now, the benchmark leaves out 69 indefinite delivery vehicles, 525 awards with no positive value, and 676 awards above the outlier fence.
- Can I use this figure as a unit price?
- No. Federal award records report the total value of each award, not hours, square feet, or units delivered. Two awards with the same value can buy very different quantities of work.

Sources and method
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.
