New solicitations rose to 2,813 this week, up from 2,330 in Issue #1. The Department of Defense posted 2,325 of them (about 83%), and manufacturing NAICS codes (31 to 33) made up most of the volume, much of it small parts buys. Total small business set-asides grew to 998, and SDVOSB set-asides held steady at 131.
