What is a contract recompete?
A contract recompete is the competitive process that occurs when an existing contract’s period of performance ends and the government solicits offers for the next award period. Recompetes can be full and open competitions or set aside for specific small business categories depending on the agency’s acquisition strategy and requirements. Planning ahead for a recompete means tracking the expiring contract’s end date and the agency’s likely procurement approach.
