Small business contracts in Illinois

64 open federal solicitations are reserved for Small business firms with work to be performed in Illinois. Large businesses can't compete for these.

Reserved for firms that qualify as small under the solicitation's NAICS size standard. No special certification beyond an accurate SAM.gov registration and size representation — but misrepresenting size is a false-statement offense, and many of these still layer on licenses, bonding, and experience minimums.

You aren't limited to these 64. Another 2,416 open Small business set-asides list no fixed place of performance — remote, nationwide, or delivery-based work a Illinois firm can bid on the same as anyone. See all 4,755 Small business bids →

A set-aside win still dies on a technicality

Reserved competition is smaller — but the compliance bar is identical, plus the status representations the set-aside itself requires. The $99 breakdown reads every solicitation document and lists each required form, pass/fail requirement, and non-responsive trigger before you commit to bidding.
