Engineering design, systems engineering and technical support, from building and civil design for the Army Corps and NAVFAC to engineering support for weapons, space and energy programs. One of the largest service categories in the budget.
Set-asides: at least 8% of FY2026's engineering services contract dollars ($3.40B) went through contracts set aside for small businesses, most through small business and 8(a) set-asides. Many orders under larger contracts carry no set-aside code, so this counts only what is reported. How set-asides work →

How the government buys engineering services work
- Architect-engineer design services are bought on qualifications under the Brooks Act: firms submit an SF 330, the agency ranks them, and price is negotiated with the top firm.
- Defense program support (systems engineering and technical assistance) is mostly ordered under large IDIQs and GSA's OASIS+.
