The Federal Marketplace Index: measuring the federal marketplace in the open

SOURCE FPDS-NG · FY2022–FY2026 · RECONCILED TO SBA GOALING

Every figure The American Small Business Chamber of Commerce™ takes to the people writing the rules comes from one place: the Federal Marketplace Index™, ASBCC's open compilation of the government's own procurement data.

FMI processes roughly 30 million federal contract actions reported to FPDS, fiscal years 2022 through 2026, and reconciles the results to the Small Business Administration's published goaling figures. The methodology is published. The code is public. The releases are archived with permanent identifiers. Anyone — a member, a journalist, a congressional office, a skeptic — can reproduce every number.

What the measurement shows

• $3.45 trillion in federal contract dollars measured and reconciled, FY2022–FY2026.
• 56,728 distinct small businesses won federal prime contracts in FY2025 — down from 62,862 in FY2022, a 9.8% contraction of the supplier base in three years (FPDS-NG).
• Small business dependence on orders under consolidated vehicles rose every year of the window — from 66.0% of small-business dollars in FY2022 to 70.7% in the current partial fiscal year, against 56.7% for the market overall.

These are the numbers behind ASBCC's comments on the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul and the 2027 NAICS revision — filed with the analysis attached, so the record can check the work. See the Policy Center for the filings themselves.

Where it lives

• federalmarketplaceindex.org — the Index
• Methodology
• Archived release — Federal Marketplace Index™ v0.2, Zenodo FMI is deliberately independent in presentation — it is a public measurement resource, not marketing. It is member-funded, like everything ASBCC does: the measurement exists because suppliers pay for it to exist, and answers to no one else.
