The Small Business Administration removed agency specific prime contracting goals for prime awards to small disadvantaged businesses.
Agencies have some new small business contracting goals for fiscal 2025 and they are more in line with traditional targets.
The Small Business Administration specifically reset the small disadvantaged business goals, requiring agencies to at least award 5% of all contracts to these firms.
The SBA updated these goals on Jan. 24 assigning every agency the same set of goals for all socioeconomic categories.
This reset specifically impacts agency focus on SDB program. The Biden administration set a governmentwide goal of 15% of all federal prime contracts going to these firms in fiscal 2025.
