A pricing pro's read of federal cyber awards: 33% award-to-ceiling on NAICS 541512 (25% on cloud), 58.8% single-offer, 87% of dollars full-and-open, and an $89B / 163-award recompete wall. Why ceiling is the least honest number in a cyber procurement — and how to build the cost volume around obligation history.

Federal Spending Pulse
Obligations by sector, vehicle, agency, and set-aside — sourced from PrimeRFP SCOUT.
Methodology note: The Industry tab compares two scopes over the same trailing-12-month window — the authoritative PSC / OMB Category headline total (what the government bought) against the NAICS companion total (firm classification). Any gap between the two bars is a lens-gap, not growth. The Vehicles and Agencies tabs show true CY2024 vs CY2025 year-over-year. Set-Aside figures reflect explicitly set-aside designated contracts using USASpending’stype_set_aside field — not total dollars to certified firms (SBA Procurement Scorecard definition, which is larger). All figures use obligations_only and a ≥$100K floor.
Agency Intelligence
View all 10 agencies →Per-agency total award value, top awardees, open solicitations, and recompete pipeline — trailing 12 months (Jul 2025 – Jul 2026), sourced directly from PrimeRFP SCOUT.
Federal Spending by Industry — PSC / Category Headlines
Each card shows the authoritative PSC / OMB Category headline total for the sector (what the government bought), the largest buyer, and the top obligated awardees in that scope. NAICS companion views are available on each industry page — they are firm-classification lenses, not market-sizing measures. These scopes overlap in places (for example, cybersecurity PSCs sit inside the IT Category) and should not be summed to a federal total.
