Cost Per Unit: N/A
Competition Analysis
Competition Level: sole-source
The contract was not competed, indicating a sole-source award. This limits price discovery and may result in a higher cost to the government than if multiple vendors had competed.
Taxpayer Impact: The absence of competition for a $38.1M contract potentially means taxpayers are not receiving the best possible value for these professional services.
Public Impact
Taxpayers may be overpaying due to the lack of competitive bidding. The Department of the Army received specialized technical services. The contract duration of 424 days suggests a significant need for these services.

What specific technical services were provided under this contract, and how do they align with the broad 'All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services' category?
The provided data lacks specifics on the exact technical services rendered. The NAICS code 541990 is a catch-all for services not classified elsewhere, making it difficult to ascertain the precise nature of the work. Understanding the specific deliverables would allow for a more accurate assessment of value and necessity.
What was the justification for awarding this contract on a sole-source basis instead of through full and open competition?
The justification for a sole-source award is not provided in the data. Typically, such justifications involve unique capabilities, urgent needs, or lack of available sources. Without this information, it's impossible to evaluate the necessity of bypassing competition and its potential impact on cost-effectiveness.
How does the $38.1M contract value compare to similar sole-source or competed contracts for comparable technical services within the Department of Defense?
Benchmarking this $38.1M contract is difficult without knowing the specific services and comparing it to similar contracts. Sole-source awards inherently lack direct price comparison. A thorough review would require access to contract details and potentially other agency procurements for similar, albeit potentially different, technical services.
