The Public Administration sector shows a tale of two markets. One massive outlier, NASA's $7.5M commercial spaceflight contract, dominates the historical record and skews perception of opportunity size. Underneath, however, a steady flow of smaller infrastructure and administrative work from Interior, Transportation, and Defense departments is creating genuine openings for small and mid-size contractors, particularly those positioned in Maryland and the Southwest.
