Since 1999, the U. S. Small Business Administration has used data submitted into the Federal Procurement Data System to measure each agency's socioeconomic accomplishments. The Department of Veterans Affairs has used FPDS for this purpose for several years to measure each contracting activity's socioeconomic accomplishments. Under this method, if the award is not reported into the FPDS, then it does not count toward the contracting activity's socioeconomic accomplishments.

The Office of Federal Procurement Policy establishes the formula for calculating socioeconomic accomplishments. Under the initial formula, delivery orders issued under General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule contracts were not included under the total procurement and small business categories. A recent change now includes those GSA FSS delivery orders.

The socioeconomic accomplishments are shown for each type of reporting mechanism. An ISR (formally the SF 294) collects subcontract award data from prime/subcontractors that:

1. hold one or more contracts over $550,000 (over $1,000,000 for construction or public facility); and
   
   
2. are required to report subcontracts awarded to Small Business (SB), Small disadvantaged Business (SDB), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), HubZone Small Business (HUBZone SB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns under a subcontracting plan.

The ISR is not required from small businesses or for commercial items for which a commercial plan has been approved, nor from large businesses in the DOD Test Program for Negotiation of Comprehensive Subcontracting Plans.
