About this agency
The Small Business Administration Office of the Chief Operating Officer is a civilian sub-agency within the SBA that manages operational and administrative contracting and grant funding across the institution. The Office procures services, equipment, and supplies to support SBA operations and administers federal grants that advance small-business development and entrepreneurship initiatives.
The Office operates a modest contract footprint of 339 awards since 2010, totaling $207.6 million in combined potential value and $143.6 million obligated (69 percent of potential). Award cadence has declined over the last five years, moving from 24 awards in 2022 to 15 in 2023, 14 in 2024, 16 in 2025, and 6 year-to-date in 2026. Across the contract portfolio, 149 distinct primes have been awarded. The competitive base is highly fragmented — the top five primes by award count hold only 29 percent of recent awards, led by Enterprise Furniture Consultants, Inc. with 9 awards ($887 thousand combined potential value), followed by Mpire Technology Group Inc. with 4 awards ($6 million combined potential value) and three vendors with 3 awards each. By potential value, concentration is even more dispersed at 11 percent; Koniag Emerging Technologies LLC leads with a single $9.4 million award. Three-quarters of contract awards carry no set-aside designation (255 awards); 8(a) sole-source awards account for 11 percent (37 awards), total small-business set-asides for 10 percent (33 awards), with competitive 8(a) and service-disabled veteran-owned small business each representing 1 percent of the portfolio.
The Office administers a larger grant program of 473 awards since 2022, obligating $374.3 million in federal dollars. Grant activity peaked in 2023 with 198 awards, followed by 125 in 2022, 143 in 2024, and 7 in 2025 (the most recent award issued 1 year 7 months before present date). Grant recipients are highly fragmented across 398 distinct institutions — the top five recipients by award count hold only 5 percent of recent grants, with University Of Maine System and Santa Fe Community College each at 6 awards and the remainder at 3 to 5 awards. By federal dollars, the top five recipients account for 6 percent of obligated funds, again led by University Of Maine System ($10.5 million across 6 awards). Grants are predominantly Project Grants (468 awards, 99 percent) with a minimal Formula Grant component (5 awards, 1 percent).
