Federal Spending Report - FY2025 YTD (NAICS, PSC, UEI) - April


While new spending is still tied up in a continuing resolution, the Trump Administration revamps continues to adapt federal agency focus. Vendors have seen a marked increase of new activity with over 2 Million new actions since the beginning of the new federal fiscal year. Facilities Support functions continues to increase as the federal workforce has been mandated to return to the office.


We can already see this cascading throughout all federal buildings as some employees have not step foot in an office in nearly 5 years. New orders for office supplies are showing up in requests for office repairs - this has boosted W.W. GRAINGER, INC. into the Top Contractor by Contract Volume spot with 136,564 awards.


The New Administration is rapidly shifting agency spending policies and priorities. In fact, SAMradar has launched an new report featuring federal spending since January 20th, 2025. Every federal contractor should be watching agency activity - REAL-TIME and continually engage stakeholders because every agency is looking for new industry blood.


This is critical for every contractor to understand - Current Primes are at risk as DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) is placing new review procedures in place as well as a complete revamp of the contracting process. SAMradar has been watching these changes for the past 2 months and nearly 10,000 contracts have been cancelled for convenience.


Change IS happening.

What you can do to win federal contracts...

 

  1. Watch for activity in your space - REAL-TIME. You need to do this real-time or you will miss important increases in activity. This includes NAICS, PSC, Keywords, and Competitor UEIs.

  2. Engage buyers. You have to make the move because they will not call you.

  3. Build relationships. Buyers who know, like, and trust you will find a way to buy from you. Look at this report and you can see that relationships matter A LOT.

 

Leverage Change


The Trump Administration is looking at efficiency - give them what they are looking for by framing your offering the way they want to see it.

 

IMPORTANT:

 

If you are not doing this - you can’t win. Incumbents are strong and unless you do something about it NOW, they will win, and you will lose.  Experienced contractors know how long it takes.  Current vendors know how to leverage established relationships so they can win. You can do this too. 

 

You NEED:

 

  1. A tool that can help monitor activity and federal spending (SAMradar)

  2. Direction on how to engage buyers. (SAMradar)

  3. To build relationships (You)

 

Here’s the best part…

 

Everything proactive you do NOW using SAMradar will have a positive impact on your federal future. Why? this year you will get the chance to be ahead.

SAMradar is not a SAM.gov rework. SAMradar monitors ALL federal contracting activity with the objective of informing businesses of hidden contracts that are never posted on SAM.gov.


The federal government budget and contracting process is enormous and complex. In certain years, like FY 2024, budget delays and the use of continuing resolutions (CR) can present significant challenges to federal contractors and companies who want to become federal contractors.


In an effort to simplify the research process, and better service SAMradar members, we have been providing market reports that provide a high-level overview of spending (Summary, NAICS. PSC, Vendor Wins Tabs) as well as a Vendors (detailed) tab to show the exact combinations of NAICS and PSCs vendors are winning contracts.


Report Sources

FPDS.gov is the repository of data. SAM.gov is where contracting officers post opportunities, it is also where the public can run reports on FPDS data using Ad Hoc reports. SAMradar has proprietary intelligence algorithms that provide additional information including deep intelligence on buyer and prime activity that is not available on fpds.gov or SAM.gov.


Why Date Signed vs Date Modified?

There is good reason to care about both, and exactly why SAMradar operates on modifications because contract modifications show spending and prime activity that is also hidden like IDIQ, GWAC, and BPA sales that never show up on SAM.gov. Now, most of the new contract activity (by date signed) is significant because most never post on SAM.gov, therefore most contractors never know of federal sales happening in their NAICS/PSC or niche market.


Report Anatomy and Use Cases

Each Tab includes the ability to sort by the number of Contracts (activity) and Dollars. This provides your insight into activity as well as overall spending. The key for SAMradar members is to utilize this report to find and categorize competitor activity. and add the competitor to your SAMradar vendor monitor.


  1. Find competitors in your space, and add them to your SAMradar monitoring.

  2. See competitor activity in real-time.

  3. Choose your response strategy (see SAMradar templates)

  4. Inject your company into the conversation – especially future procurements.


Reconciling Inaccuracies

Federal contract data contains hundreds of data points per contract and data entry is performed by contracting officers and specialists. As a result, the data is not perfect. When assembling federal contract data, there are regular corrections, deletions, and other nuances (including agencies using fields differently) that can create anomalies in the outcome of summarized reports. SAMradar data analyzers are consistently reviewing the data for these anomalies – but we do not correct them because it would challenge the integrity of the reports.
