Capture brief

Department of Transportation reads as a selective buyer (61/100), anchored by 22.3% top vendor share at DOT.

  • Vendor concentration: HARRIS CORPORATION holds 22.3% of tracked DOT obligations. Top-5 vendors account for 41.4%. The vendor base is fragmented enough for a direct prime bid if your NAICS aligns.
  • Work mix: heaviest NAICS codes are 517310, 541330, 488111. 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 ($31.2B in the current FY sample). Stable spend favors incumbents unless a recompete window opens.
  • Protest exposure: 26 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 ($4.5B), avg vulnerability 59/100. 15 are high urgency. Pre-position before the RFP drops.
  • Capture read: DOT scores 61/100 (selective buyer). Treat as a secondary target unless you have an incumbent relationship or teaming path.
