Set-Aside Program Breakdown
Analysis
Today, there are 106 new contracting opportunities posted on SAM.gov, with nearly half—52—reserved specifically for small businesses. Among these set-asides, 49 are for the general SBA small business program, while the rest include two for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and one for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises. The remaining 54 opportunities are unrestricted and open to all contractors.
For small business contractors, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) dominates the set-aside postings, especially DLA Land and Maritime, which accounts for 24 of the small business opportunities between its two listings. This concentration suggests that businesses aligned with defense logistics and support have the best chance to find relevant contracts today. Additionally, manufacturing and maintenance sectors, particularly those under NAICS codes like engine equipment manufacturing and fastener production, show the most current activity, which should guide your targeting and proposal efforts.
