How is the year-over-year change for SBP calculated?

Obligations under this code rose 6.7% versus the prior fiscal year. The formula is (current_period − prior_period) / prior_period × 100, computed on obligated dollars for code SBP only. When the prior fiscal year shows zero obligations under the code (common for low-volume sole-source codes), GovChime suppresses the YoY pill rather than emit a divide-by-zero result.

Why might SBP totals differ from the SBA Procurement Scorecard?

SBA's official Procurement Scorecard applies additional FAR 19 exclusions to its goal-eligible base — Foreign Military Sales (FMS) orders, sub-$10K micro-purchases, mandatory-source acquisitions, certain utilities, and direct 8(a) sole-source orders awarded by SBA itself. GovChime aggregates raw FPDS-NG transactions where typeOfSetAsideCode equals SBP. Combined with year-to-date timing in current-FY views vs. fiscal-year-close in SBA's report, methodology differences typically widen GovChime's denominator and shift the apparent achievement percentage relative to the SBA scorecard.
