Set-Aside Program Breakdown
Analysis
Today, SAM.gov lists 41 new federal contracting opportunities, with 10 of these (24%) specifically set aside for small businesses. Among the set-asides, eight are open to all small businesses, while two are reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). The remaining 31 opportunities are unrestricted and open to larger competitors as well.
For small business contractors, this means focusing on the SBA total small business set-aside program and the SDVOSB opportunities, as these are the most prominent set-aside categories today. Key agencies posting small-business opportunities include the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, which has multiple listings, along with DLA Land and Maritime and several network contract offices. These agencies often have ongoing needs in manufacturing, construction, and testing services, so targeting them can improve your chances of success.
To take advantage of these opportunities, use SAM.gov’s filtering tools to narrow your search by set-aside type and relevant NAICS codes. Set up daily email alerts to stay informed about new postings and pay close attention to solicitation deadlines to ensure timely proposals.
