In this episode of FedBiz’5, we unpack the SBA’s 2025 Annual Report and translate it into what really matters for small business government contractors heading into 2026. We break down the report into clear signals: record access to capital, a serious push on program integrity and fraud enforcement, shifting contracting priorities (including veterans and manufacturing), innovation funding momentum, and growing demand in disaster response and resilience.
You’ll hear how these trends can affect your pipeline, pricing strategy, certifications, and growth plans over the next 12–18 months. We’ll talk about what increased oversight means for legitimate firms, how to align with “Made in America” and onshoring narratives, why SBIR/SBIC data points to more tech-to-contract pathways, and how to get your documentation and positioning ready before agencies start moving faster in 2026. If you want to turn SBA policy signals into real competitive advantage instead of background noise, this episode is for you.
