Read contracts expected to expire

Part of these button learning paths: Expiring Contracts 120 Days · My Government RoadMap · Expiring Contracts through 2030

Start at Main Menu → Research → Expiring Contracts through 2030. After choosing a route and expected-completion year, press its adjacent Search. In this grouped result, select the arrow beside a contract to expand its actions; select Contract # to open Award Details. Use Back to return to the list.

After searching expected completions, use this grouped result to see which contracts may be worth monitoring. It shows related past actions together and an Est. Completion Date. NAICS 561720, year 2027 and default Step 3 choices returned 1,189 groups across 12 pages in the example below. Some searches instead open the flat action list.

Parent rows and expanded actions

The parent grid sorts and shows 100 rows per page. Select the arrow beside a parent to see its award actions. Related rows are grouped by Ref # when present, otherwise by Contract #. # of Records counts action rows in that group; Total adds their displayed obligations. Each child has its own amount and date, which helps explain the parent Total.

Contract 127EAY24P0006 shows P00003 in its parent row, a $41,760 Total, 5 Records, an award date of January 2, 2026, and Est. Completion Date January 2, 2027. Expanding it shows five action rows: base action 0 for $10,440; P00001 for $0; two P00002 rows for $10,440 each; and P00003 for $10,440. All five display January 2, 2027 as estimated completion. Together their amounts equal the $41,760 parent Total. Both P00002 rows belong in that displayed total; # of Records counts rows, not distinct modification numbers.

Open the parent's Contract # to read the selected P00003, transaction 0 in Award Details. It shows $10,440 Action Obligation, the amount of this action rather than the $41,760 group. Date Signed is January 2, 2026; Effective Date is January 3, 2024; Completion Date is blank; and Ultimate Completion Date is January 2, 2027. The detail also shows solicitation 127EAY24Q0002, PSC S201, NAICS 561720 and an option-year-2 janitorial description. These identifiers help locate the right requirement and compare related actions.

What the 25-column export contains

The file is named AwardHistory. Without an Open Contracts Dollar Value choice, it can list up to 5,000 individual award actions with each action's obligation and vendor contact fields. With that dollar choice, its grouping and row limit can differ. Read Total as an action amount or grouped amount according to the export route; the file is not a copy of the 100 visible parent rows.
