Capture brief

Department of Homeland Security reads as a selective buyer (65/100), anchored by 8% top vendor share at DHS.

  • Vendor concentration: HUNTINGTON INGALLS INCORPORATED holds 8% of tracked DHS obligations. Top-5 vendors account for 27.2%. The vendor base is fragmented enough for a direct prime bid if your NAICS aligns.
  • Work mix: heaviest NAICS codes are 336611, 541512, 541614. 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 ($53.5B in the current FY sample). Stable spend favors incumbents unless a recompete window opens.
  • Protest exposure: 160 GAO decisions, 1% sustained (-9.6 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 ($9.6B), avg vulnerability 62/100. 15 are high urgency. Pre-position before the RFP drops.
  • Capture read: DHS scores 65/100 (selective buyer). Prioritize this buyer if your NAICS and set-aside certs match their work mix.
