federal-niche-winnability-2026 — flagship
Every federal NAICS niche (with ≥ 10 tracked awards) scored for winnability, derived from 40,000+ federal awards. 287 niches. Each carries a 0–100 Target Score for small and large businesses, contractor concentration, set-aside dollar shares by category, typical bidder counts, active opportunities, and the 12-month recompete pipeline.
Target Score = 0.5 × openness + 0.5 × edge, where openness = 100 − the top-3 contractors' dollar share, and
edge = the set-aside work you qualify for (small business) or the full-and-open share (large business). All
inputs are derived from public USAspending & SAM.gov data. Explore it interactively at
