Where federal buyers get the fewest offers: open solicitations from contracting offices whose competed contracts often drew just one, the industries where that's common, and single-offer contracts coming up for re-bid. From FPDS contract data, no guesswork.
3,047 open solicitations due within 60 days from offices whose competed contracts drew one offer at least 30% of the time: the 50 with the highest rate. Data as of Sep 29, 2026.
