The set-aside landscape
$459,666,731 of the federal contract dollars to Utah companies in FY2025, 9.7% 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. That is money a large company could not touch.
