Small Business Reserve Program Data

The Small Business Reserve Program (SBR) data highlights the purchase order award activities conducted by various Commonwealth agencies during state fiscal year 2024-25 (July1, 2024 through June 30, 2025), as of December 31, 2024. The chart below illustrates the distribution of purchase orders (POs), the number of small businesses (SBs) involved in the POs, and the total value awarded across different agencies.

Key insights from the data:

• At the mid-year mark, 172 small businesses were awarded 555 purchase orders, totaling $36.7 million.
• These contract awards already account for 60% of the total POs and 73% of the total dollar value ($50 million) awarded during the entire previous fiscal year (2023-24).
• The program reserves eligible prime contracting opportunities for small businesses; as of December 2024, the SBR program has achieved 55 percent of the prior year’s prime contractor participation by mid-year.

This data underscores the procurement staff’s increased focus on expanding opportunities for small businesses, aligning with the Shapiro Administration’s objectives. The detailed chart below illustrates the widespread engagement of agencies in advancing the program's goals.
