Bid counts as the department reported them to the Treasury Board. Departments count differently, so compare within one buyer, not across buyers.
- How this buyer buys

- Room for smaller firms
19% of the 134 award notices for the same commodity family went to suppliers with under $1 million in federal contracts since Jan 2004.
