Business Scenarios

This report is available government-wide with the ability to drill down to the Department, Contracting Agency, and other levels. The report is ideal for answering this type of business question:

How many contracts were awarded for construction for the current Fiscal Year? This report displays the individual Product Service Codes to allow users to identify the number of awards and dollars by type of item or service.

For instance, the Department of Defense (DoD) can assess their future buying trends to identify economies of scale through more efficient purchasing methods and identify contractor opportunities.
