How federal small-business and socioeconomic set-aside programs are actually performing, measured in obligated dollars and contract counts rather than policy statements. Coverage includes 8(a) Business Development, HUBZone, WOSB and EDWOSB, SDVOSB and VOSB, and small disadvantaged business awards, each shown against the statutory small-business contracting goal established in 15 U.S.C. § 644(g). For contractors holding one of these certifications, the practical question is which agencies genuinely route work through your program versus which fall short of their targets year after year — the gap between the two is where a certification actually converts into revenue. Note that GovChime's achievement percentages are computed from FPDS prime-award data and will not match the SBA scorecard exactly, because the scorecard applies its own exclusions and adjustments to the eligible base. Treat these figures as a directional read on agency behaviour, not as an official compliance score.
