The Texas athletic-field pipeline is unusually early-stage: 909 of 1085 active projects (84%) have not reached a bid board yet. No single owner dominates: the busiest buyer, Round Rock Independent School District, holds only 10 of 1139 tracked projects, with 661 public buyers active across 168 counties. School districts drive 44% of the volume, ahead of parks and recreation departments at 21%. The biggest pre-bid cluster is the 376 projects at the earliest signal stage, where owners are setting scopes and budgets months before any solicitation exists.

How early are athletic field projects visible in Texas?
