Tensorust Performance Ledger · as of 2026-11-06 · 15,656 set-aside primes with $250K+ FY2025-27
Set-aside work by product and service family
Small-business set-aside obligations FY2025-26 ($85.89B across these primes), grouped by each prime's largest PSC family, with how much of the labor and R&D work sits with primes we could match to their own Form 5500 workforce filing.
What a row is: a total over every set-aside prime in the ledger whose largest PSC family is that row, from USAspending/FPDS and DOL EFAST2. What it is not: a finding about any firm. A prime in the review queue is a triage case with explanation codes, not a violation; no firm is named on this page. Each prime counts once, under its largest PSC family.

Labor and R&D per year spreads each award's FY2025-26 obligations over its period of performance (2 to 5 years). Per-participant figures use active participants on the prime's largest plan for its latest plan year; a missing 5500 is common and innocent (no plan, a parent's plan, or a PEO). Peer p90 is the ledger's own peer benchmark for the family. Method, rule citations and the case files for program offices and IGs: Performance Ledger.
