Awards recorded through Oct 22, 2026
Snapshot computed Oct 22, 2026
Too few awards in Oct 22, 2024 to Oct 21, 2025 or Oct 22, 2025 to Oct 21, 2026 to compare
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 57 comparable it systems design and integration awards were worth less than $3,293,737, and half were worth more.
The middle half ran from $685,000 to $7,463,393. The 75th percentile is 10.9 times the 25th, a wide spread, so the scope of a particular requirement matters more than the category label.
The mean is $7,433,648, 2.3 times the median. A minority of large awards pulls the average up, which is why the median is the headline figure.
50 contractors won these awards from 17 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.

Questions about this benchmark
- What is a typical it systems design and integration federal contract worth?
- The median current award value is $3,293,737, across 57 comparable awards in the snapshot computed Oct 22, 2026. Half of the awards in the sample were worth less.
- How much do it systems design and integration award values vary?
- The middle half of awards ran from $685,000 to $7,463,393. One in ten was below $62,539, and one in ten above $21,638,141.
- How has the it systems design and integration median changed over the past year?
- No change is published. One of the two windows, Oct 22, 2024 to Oct 21, 2025 or Oct 22, 2025 to Oct 21, 2026, had too few awards to compare.
- Who buys the most it systems design and integration services in the federal government?
- Among agencies with enough awards to publish their own figure, Department of Defense has the most: 14 awards with a median of $6,844,687.
- Which states see the most it systems design and integration awards?
- By place of performance, the states with the most published awards are Virginia (20), District of Columbia (12), and Maryland (11).
- Which awards are left out of this benchmark?
- As the records stand now, the benchmark leaves out 11,275 low-confidence classifications, 3 indefinite delivery vehicles, 21 awards with no positive value, and 8 awards above the outlier fence.
- Is this a price per hour or per unit?
- 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.

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.
