By number of new awards in FY2016-FY2026: Defense Logistics Agency (25%), Department of Veterans Affairs (11%), Department of the Air Force (10%). Agencies that buy often are the ones to watch for recompetes and sources-sought notices.

35% of the awards that report a set-aside were reserved for small businesses or a socioeconomic program: small business set-asides 24%, Service-disabled veteran-owned (SDVOSB) 4%, 8(a) 3%. Orders under existing contract vehicles often leave the field blank, so those are not counted.
Where the numbers come from
Every new federal contract award of $25,000 or more signed from October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2026 (FY2016 to FY2026), as reported to USAspending.gov from the Federal Procurement Data System: definitive contracts, purchase orders, delivery orders and BPA calls. Amounts are what has been obligated on each award to date, options and modifications included. Place is the place of performance.
Offer counts are FPDS's “number of offers received” on competed awards. Award recipients are counted but not named here. Pages with fewer than 150 awards (500 for one code in one state) are left out of search engines, because a handful of awards can swing the numbers.
