The Period in Review
GovChime matched 1,535 active small business set-aside listings posted in the week of Oct 19–Oct 25, 2026 whose response deadline had not passed. Everything below describes the 10 listings shown above, not every match.
Measured on a separate basis (listings posted in each period that were still open at the end of that period, counted the same way for both), the count was down 18.0% from the prior period (Oct 12–Oct 18, 2026): 1,551 against 1,891.
Among the 10 listings, DEPT OF DEFENSE accounts for 9.
NAICS sector 33 holds 9 of the 10 listings (codes 331210, 332510, 332722, 332994, 333612, 335931, 336320, 336992). By set-aside type: Small Business Set Aside - Total on 7 and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside (FAR 19.14) on 3.
Against the prior period's list (Oct 12–Oct 18, 2026), 2 of the 2 agencies listed this period were also on that list.
What Stood Out
- Concentration: DEPT OF DEFENSE accounts for 9 of the 10 listings shown.
- Clustering: NAICS sector 33 is the most common, on 9 of the 10 listings (codes 331210, 332510, 332722, 332994, 333612, 335931, 336320, 336992). Among set-aside types, Small Business Set Aside - Total is the most common, on 7 of the 10 listings.
- Deadlines: All 10 listings shown state a response deadline, from November 2, 2026 to November 5, 2026. By set-aside type, Small Business Set Aside - Total runs November 2, 2026 to November 5, 2026 and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside (FAR 19.14) runs November 2, 2026 to November 5, 2026.
What to Watch
- Prepare a response to the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation from DEPT OF DEFENSE (DLA AVIATION.DLA AV RICHMOND.DLA AVIATION) under NAICS 332510, due November 2, 2026, the earliest deadline among the listings shown.
