Small Business Administration: $111M in contracts in FY2025
SBA is a small buyer itself: the systems that process its loans and certifications, the surge staffing after a disaster, and the administration of its counseling networks. Its weight in government contracting is as the rule-maker for every set-aside, not as a customer.
Its mission, in its own words
To maintain and strengthen the nation's economy by enabling the establishment and vitality of small businesses and to assist in the economic recovery of communities after disasters.

The small-business share
$107,541,975 of SBA’s FY2025 contract dollars, 97% of the total, went out under a small-business set-aside: competitions and sole-source awards reserved for small firms, 8(a) participants, HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned and women-owned businesses. The dollars primes placed with small subcontractors sit on top of that and are not counted here.
