10 / Interpreting the Profile
What does this contract market mean for a supplier?
This profile combines spending scale, the buying hierarchy, incumbent vendors, market classifications, and competition indicators. Read them together before deciding whether Government Accountability Office represents an addressable market for your company.
Read spending in context
$754.72M in recorded obligations describes historical market scale. Compare it with 4,118 contract actions and an average action value of $183.3K to understand purchasing frequency and transaction size.
Follow the actual buyers
This office sits within GAO, EXCEPT COMPTROLLER GENERAL and GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE. Use that hierarchy to understand who directs its mission and how its purchasing compares with the broader organization.
