Market Intelligence — Construction & Infrastructure
$50.4B obligated across 47,972 awards in 12 months — DoD ($21B) and DHS ($14B) together account for 69% of all federal construction spending.
DHS dominates in average award size — border wall, CBP facility, and port-of-entry construction generates large per-contract values versus DoD's higher-volume MILCON and renovation work.
Fisher Sand & Gravel and BCCG JV together hold $8.9B of border infrastructure awards — concentrated in DHS CBP construction, with active recompete risk creating opportunity for challengers.
VA's $4B in construction work is highly distributed across 3,241+ awards for medical center renovations and clinic expansions — strong small business set-aside opportunity.
