When it comes to small federal contractors and biggest bang for the proverbial B&P bucks, things aren’t always what they seem. With all of the attention given to contract vehicles like GSA’s STARS II, ALLIANT Small Business and the Federal Supply Schedules, one might expect those and other Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Vehicles to do well in a competitive analysis. But that isn’t always the case.
This companion piece looks at the top NAICS Codes referenced in purchases made when companies won a cumulative $250,000 or more during the first three quarters of FY2015.

Background
The parameters for this review are based on initial award obligations (versus modification obligations) signed during the period of October 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. Each obligation indicates being issued to a small business concern by agency contracting officers regardless of if the procurement was set-aside or unrestricted. Finally, in order to make the list, each company must have accumulated $250,000 or more in obligations during that period in at least one of the eight Procurement Methods or Award/IDV Types listed. Our source for the data and information collected was the Federal Procurement Data System – Next Generation.
Several of the small companies making the cut achieved the minimum threshold in multiple categories.

Keep in mind this represents the top twenty-five of 675 NAICS Codes referenced in the overall $29 billion obligated to small businesses in my original article.
To move this overview in the direction of becoming actionable intelligence, the next step is to review the NAICS and PSC Codes based on how the buys were made and ultimately by which agencies. Keep your eyes open!
Peace!
