This resource analyzes federal procurement patterns by examining contracts awarded to small businesses and socio-economic categories as tracked through the SBA’s annual Goaling Report, which establishes mandatory spending targets for each federal agency. The SBA annually negotiates individual agency goals that collectively meet government-wide statutory levels, including the 23% small business target and specific percentages for disadvantaged business enterprises, women-owned small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and HUBZone companies.
The RSM Federal Sales Training Center provides this historical contract data analysis to help contractors understand which agencies consistently meet their small business goals versus those requiring improvement through corrective action plans. This information enables businesses to identify agencies with strong small business procurement track records and tailor their government sales approach to win government contracts through targeted set-aside opportunities.
