Contractor Guidance for Your Bid
SBA size is calculated across your total government work, not per-contract. If you hold multiple government contracts, aggregate revenues may push you above the size standard. Track all government contract values carefully—they sum toward your size determination. If approaching the threshold, consult SBA before bidding large procurements.
