Best Practices

Start with your specific NAICS or PSC codes rather than browsing all awards. This will give you the most relevant insights and save time.
An agency’s spending patterns in your area should align with their mission and budget size. Don’t expect small agencies to have large contract volumes.
When benchmarking pricing or analyzing competition, ensure you’re looking at similar contract types, scopes, and requirements.
Don’t just look at initial award amounts. Review transactions to understand how contracts evolve through modifications and extensions.
Pro Tip: Combine multiple filters to narrow down your analysis. For example, filter by NAICS code, agency, and contract size simultaneously to find the most relevant comparable awards.
