Sample report · Government Contracting
We re-derived a published figure from the public record.
The federal government earned an A on its FY2025 small business scorecard — 104.72% of its negotiated goals. In the same year, prime dollars fell $4.5 billion, the women-owned and HUBZone statutory goals were missed, and small disadvantaged business share logged its first decline in ten years. Both are true: the grade measures negotiated goals, not the trend. And the report computes what the release leaves unstated: $273B − $179B = $94 billion in subcontracts.
The situation
The grade and the trend answer different questions.
An agency small business program office and congressional oversight staff read the annual procurement scorecard. The headline grade is an A; the year-over-year numbers move the other way. Which is right depends on what the grade actually measures — and the release doesn't do the subtraction that connects its own figures.
We entered the scorecard's published figures for both years plus the category detail, and had the report derive the unstated components and reconcile the grade against the trend.
What we supplied
Only public inputs — each one sourced.
Inputs come from the FY2025 scorecard release, the FY2024 release, and category-level scorecard coverage.
| Input | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Statutory prime goal | 23% | FY2025 scorecard |
| Prime dollars / share, FY2025 | $179B / 27.8% | FY2025 scorecard |
| Prime + subcontract, FY2025 | $273B | FY2025 scorecard |
| Prime dollars / share, FY2024 | $183.5B / 28.8% | FY2024 scorecard |
| Gov-wide achievement / grade | 104.72% / A | FY2025 scorecard |
| Jobs — prime / subcontract | 793,400 / 418,000 | FY2025 scorecard |
| WOSB · HUBZone · SDB · 8(a) | 4.2% vs 5% · 2.66% vs 3% · 11.6% (first decline in 10 yrs) · 3.7% | Scorecard category detail |

Reconcile
Our output vs. the published figures.
| Metric | Published | Ours (computed) | Match | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Subcontract component | Not stated in the release | $273B − $179B = $94B | ✓ exact | Falls out of two published totals |
| Jobs total | "1.2 million" | 793,400 + 418,000 = 1,211,400 | ✓ exact | Component sum matches the release's rounding |
| Year-over-year change | Both years' figures | −$4.5B (−2.5%); share 28.8% → 27.8% | ✓ exact | The A grade coexists with the decline because it measures negotiated goals |
Delivery-side KPIs (on-time delivery, CPARS, acceptance rates, DSO) aren't covered by the scorecard and are disclosed as such rather than invented. An unpinnable agency-grade list from the build notes was dropped rather than carried on secondary authority.
