- In 2005 the federal government purchased $314 billion worth of goods and services from businesses both large and small;

- Small Businesses received a record breaking $79.6 billion in prime contracts in 2005;

- The Federal Government will contract in excess of $80 Billion to Small Businesses in the coming fiscal year;
