How much do federal contracts pay?
There is no single answer, because federal contracts range from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of millions. What matters for your bid is not the average across everything, but what this agency pays for this kind of work at this size.
AwardCast breaks award prices down by agency and category from real federal data, then forecasts the closing price of a specific solicitation you care about. That turns a vague question into a number you can price against.
- A forecast price range for a specific solicitation, before you write the bid.
- The competition to expect and how the agency has paid on similar work.
- Comparable recent awards, so your number is grounded in real outcomes.
Frequently asked questions
Are federal award amounts public?
Yes. Award values are published through USASpending and FPDS. AwardCast organizes that public record and adds a forecast for open solicitations.
Why do prices vary so much for the same work?
Agency, set-aside type, competition level and place of performance all move the number. AwardCast accounts for those when it forecasts a specific solicitation.
Can I see what a particular agency pays?
Yes. Browse an agency to see its median award and price ranges by category, then forecast a live solicitation.
