​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Small Business Reserve (SBR) Program Data

This Small Business Reserve Program (SBR) data summarizes the purchase order award activities conducted by individual agencies during the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2024. FY23-24 was a transformative year for the SBR program. During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, BDISBO engaged in multiple one-on-one meetings with agency personnel to ensure a detailed understanding of the administration's objectives. As a result of this targeted effort, 164 small businesses were awarded 338 purchase orders, totaling over $15.3 million.

Compared to the previous fiscal year, we achieved a 16 percent increase in the number of small businesses (311) engaged in reserved procurements. This heightened focus led to a 25 percent increase in the number of purchase orders (919), thereby expanding opportunities for small businesses to act as prime contractors with the Commonwealth. Overall, more than $50 million in purchase orders were awarded to small businesses, with nearly 60 percent of participating agencies reporting an increase in awarded dollars through the SBR program.
