Small Business Contracting Goals
Statutory governmentwide targets for the share of prime dollars awarded to small business categories, including 3% to SDVOSBs.
Federal law sets governmentwide goals for the percentage of prime contract dollars awarded to small businesses and specific socioeconomic categories. The statutory SDVOSB prime contracting goal is at least 3%, alongside goals for small business overall (23%), women-owned, HUBZone, and 8(a) firms. The SBA negotiates agency-level goals and grades each agency annually on its Small Business Procurement Scorecard, creating pressure that drives SDVOSB set-aside activity. The FY2024 scorecard showed governmentwide SDVOSB awards exceeding the 3% target.
