Every federal NAICS niche (with >= 10 tracked awards) scored for winnability, derived from 40,000+ federal awards. 287 niches.
| column | description |
|---|---|
| naics_code, title | The niche |
| target_score_small / tier_small | 0-100 winnability for a small business (Winnable / Moderate / Prime-locked) |
| target_score_large / tier_large | 0-100 for a large business (Open market / Competitive / Set-aside heavy) |
| openness | 100 - top-3 contractor dollar share (anti-concentration) |
| top3_dollar_share | % of dollars held by the top 3 contractors |
| full_open_pct / set_aside_*_pct | dollar share that is full-and-open vs each set-aside category |
| median_award_usd | typical award size |
| typical_bidders | median offers received (where known) |
| active_opportunities | live opportunities in the niche |
| recompete_count_12mo / recompete_value_usd | contracts reaching recompete within 12 months |
| award_sample_size | tracked awards behind the figures |
Score = 0.5 x openness + 0.5 x edge, where edge = the set-aside work you qualify for (small business)
or the full-and-open share (large business). Explore it interactively at https://govsentry.ai/tools/opportunity-finder.
