including amounts ultimately passed on to the third-party service providers. As of September 30, 2024, contract assets, net of allowances, were $191,040,000.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations

The following table includes estimated net sales related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of September 30, 2024 that are expected to be recognized in the future (in thousands):


	Services
Remainder of 2024	$	45,266
2025	78,594
2026	31,948
2027 and thereafter	43,328
Total remaining performance obligations	$	199,136

With the exception of remaining performance obligations associated with our OneCall Support Services contracts which are included in the table above regardless of original duration, the remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less are not included in the table above. Amounts not included in the table above have an average original expected duration of seven months. Additionally, for our time and material services contracts, whereby we have the right to consideration from a client in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the client of our performance completed to date, we recognized revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice as of September 30, 2024 and do not disclose information about related remaining performance obligations in the table above. Our time and material contracts have an average expected duration of 27 months.

The majority of our backlog historically has been, and continues to be, open cancellable purchase orders. We do not believe that backlog as of any particular date is predictive of future results, therefore we do not include performance obligations under open cancellable purchase orders, which do not qualify for revenue recognition, in the table above.
