Capture brief

Department of Energy reads as a selective buyer (71/100), anchored by 7% top vendor share at DOE.

  • Vendor concentration: LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP holds 7% of tracked DOE obligations. Top-5 vendors account for 31.2%. The vendor base is fragmented enough for a direct prime bid if your NAICS aligns.
  • Work mix: heaviest NAICS codes are 561210, 541710, 562910. Align your capability statement and past performance to these codes before cold outreach.
  • Set-aside posture: Full and Open is the largest bucket at 100% of tracked spend (0% small-business overall). Expect full-and-open competition on most large awards.
  • Spend trajectory: stable at +0% YoY ($683.6B in the current FY sample). Stable spend favors incumbents unless a recompete window opens.
  • Protest exposure: 7 GAO decisions, 0% sustained (-8.9 pp vs median). Awards tend to hold up on protest, so price and past performance matter more than legal challenges.
  • Recompete pipeline: 50 contracts expiring in the next 18 months ($207.7B), avg vulnerability 58/100. 10 are high urgency. Pre-position before the RFP drops.
  • Capture read: DOE scores 71/100 (selective buyer). Prioritize this buyer if your NAICS and set-aside certs match their work mix.
