Set-Aside Program Breakdown
Analysis
Today, 128 new federal contracting opportunities were posted on SAM.gov, with 48 of those (38%) set aside specifically for small businesses. Among the set-asides, 36 are general small business opportunities, 9 are reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), 2 for women-owned small businesses (WOSB), and 1 is an SDVOSB sole source opportunity. The remaining 80 opportunities are unrestricted and open to all bidders.
For small business contractors, the focus should be on targeting the set-aside programs where activity is highest, especially the SBA Total Small Business Set-Aside and SDVOSB categories. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), particularly its Aviation division, is the top agency posting small business opportunities today, which suggests that businesses in manufacturing and aviation-related NAICS codes should prioritize proposals in these areas. Understanding which agencies and industries are active helps streamline business development efforts toward the most promising contracts.
To take advantage of these opportunities, small business owners and BD professionals should use SAM.gov’s filtering tools to search by set-aside type and industry codes relevant to their capabilities.
