What you get

Ask your AI agent what an incumbent has won in your NAICS code and which contract vehicles it holds. Capture and proposal teams use it to size up the company they would displace, and government market researchers use it to see how a current performer's work is spread across agencies. You need the incumbent's 12-character UEI.

How to read it

  • The rows are a sample, not the whole record, so do not add them up and compare the sum to the 112 awards. Spread matters more than size: this incumbent has awards at three agencies, so it is a multi-agency performer. Subawards are not included.
  • An incumbent that holds the vehicle an order sits on can often compete for the follow-on in ways a non-holder cannot, and VA11816D1019 is a held vehicle here. Confirm what a vehicle's date measures on its record, and check the official record before you rely on a figure.

Check it

The answer carries no G2X link, so confirm the awards and vehicles in the agencies' official award records. To open any award's record on G2X, follow Read a contract award record.

Variations

  • "Show this company's awards in the last three fiscal years only, and only those ending within 180 days."
  • "List this company's small business set-aside awards under NAICS 541512."
  • "Compare the vehicles held by the incumbent and by one challenger, side by side."
