Goaling Program

Small Business Goaling Reports

Each year, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) negotiates socioeconomic procurement preference program, or ‘contracting,’ goals with Federal agencies. These goals are based on statute, and require that, in the aggregate, agencies award contracts as follows: 23% to small businesses; 5% to small disadvantaged businesses; 5% to women-owned small businesses; 3% to HUBZone small businesses; and 3% to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. The SBA evaluates agencies’ performance against these goals annually, using data from the Federal Procurement Data System – Next Generation (FPDS-NG), the authoritative source of government-wide contracting information, which is managed by the General Services Administration’s (GSA’s) Integrated Acquisition Environment Program Office (IAEPMO). This information is compiled into official Small Business Goaling Reports (SBGRs) annually.  


Small Business Procurement Scorecard Overview

The SBA is implementing a Small Business Procurement Scorecard for Chief Financial Officers Act agencies. The Scorecard is modeled after the one used to track the President's Management Agenda and will complement the goals and objectives of the President's Management Agenda by meeting government wide standards of success in financial management; demonstrating high standards of integrity; maintaining a high-performance culture; and ensuring accountability for the American people's money. It provides for a current status rating, based on actual performance, and a progress rating based on what agencies have done, and are planning to do, to improve performance.
