Enter your NAICS codes

The federal award data is already loaded. Type the codes you compete in and the analysis runs against a prepared dataset — no download, no file to upload.

Prepared by MakeGov from the Federal Procurement Data System and SAM.gov entity registrations, already rolled up to parent companies. Only the codes you type are sent — no file is uploaded and nothing about you is transmitted. Codes measured by employee count cannot be analyzed, because headcount does not appear in award data.
Before you start. This tool estimates from federal contract dollars. Size standards are based on total company revenue, including commercial work, subcontracts, and affiliated companies — none of which appear in this data. Results are a list of candidates worth investigating, never a determination of who is small. Not legal advice.

The tool produces estimates derived from public federal spending data; it does not and cannot determine any firm's size status under the Small Business Act or 13 CFR Part 121, and its output is not a size determination, a size certification, or a substitute for either. Size standards, size determinations, affiliation, and eligibility rest with the U.S. Small Business Administration and the contracting officer, and turn on facts not present in this data, including total receipts from all sources and the applicable regulation as then in effect. Proposed rules are subject to change or withdrawal and confer no rights; nothing here should be read as a recommendation to alter a size representation, certification, teaming arrangement, or bid strategy. Any regulatory submission, teaming agreement, or business decision informed by this material should be reviewed by qualified legal counsel and, where appropriate, a financial or tax professional, before action is taken, and every threshold and citation should be verified against primary sources.

Draft a comment to SBA

Agencies must respond to significant comments. Sentiment is not significant; a position backed by data is. Choose the position you want to take, and the tool drafts a comment around the figures from your run. The output is an unbranded Word document you can paste into your own letterhead. It runs entirely in your browser — no account, no sign-in, nothing sent anywhere.

The tool takes no position on the rule. The analysis measures; it does not argue. The position below is yours, and the argument sections are written to it. Read the draft before you file it — the words are submitted under your name, not ours.
Every option produces the same measured findings in section 3. Only the argument sections change.
From your own records. How it is characterized follows your position. Type zero if you have not computed it.
Every figure in a comment must be one you can source. One bad number gets the whole submission discounted. The tool cites only the figures from your run and the ones you enter here, and flags anything in the draft it cannot trace.

Companies in the band

Read this before using any of these numbers. This tool measures federal contract dollars. Size standards measure total company revenue — commercial work, subcontracts, and affiliated companies all count toward a size determination and none of them appear in this data. A company can look small here and be well over the threshold in reality. What you have is a ranked list of candidates worth investigating, not a determination of who is small.
