A Recompete Procurement is an acquisition action to award a new contract for requirements currently being performed under an existing contract that is ending. Recompetes occur when contract periods of performance expire and the government continues to need the goods or services.

Recompete procurements offer opportunities for new entrants while incumbents typically have advantages from understanding requirements and customer relationships. Successful recompete capture requires early positioning, demonstrating relevant experience, and addressing any incumbent performance gaps. Understanding recompete timing helps contractors plan business development activities and resource investments.
