* The total 'potential' contract value figure requires the
most care -- and, ideally, manual analysis -- as there can be
double-counting between the potential value of a parent
award (e.g., an Indefinite Delivery Contract) and one of its
subawards (e.g., a Delivery Order). But, due to disk space
constraints, we cannot store all contract information and
have only uploaded subaward linkages back to mid-2019. For
this reason and others, for the sake of consistency we
compute the sum of the potential contract values in the naive
manner with the understanding that it is usually only a
slight overestimate of a number which is, even when carefully
computed, often a very loose upper bound on eventually
exercised options values.
