Professional Services Boom: 697 Open Contracts Worth Billions, but GSA and DoD Concentration Creates Barriers for Mid-Market Firms
WinAContract · Sep 19, 2026
Professional services opportunities exceed 650 open positions with a median deal size of $500,000, but GSA and DoD control 95% of historical spend, forcing mid-market competitors into a narrow set-aside channel where small business awards represent only 3.5% of volume.

Distinct winners
The professional, scientific and technical services market on SAM shows robust activity: 697 live opportunities and 369 posted in the last week alone. Yet the underlying structure reveals a market shaped by two dominant buyers. GSA and DoD together account for $178.9 billion of the $189.3 billion in recorded awards across 5,269 deals, leaving mid-market firms to compete in a landscape where the top five winners have captured $64.2 billion and 4,818 distinct winners remain fragmented across 30 agencies.
