The annual Small Business Procurement Scorecard is an assessment tool to (1) measure how well federal agencies reach their small business and socio-economic prime contracting and subcontracting goals, (2) provide accurate and transparent contracting data and (3) report agency-specific progress. The prime and subcontracting component goals include goals for small businesses, small businesses owned by women (WOSB), small disadvantaged businesses (SDB), service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), and small businesses located in Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZones). Each federal agency has a different small business contracting goal, negotiated annually in consultation with SBA. SBA ensures that the sum total of all of the goals exceeds the 23 percent target established by law.
