SCOUT Signal
August 2026
One VA health contract was 35% of civilian federal obligations in July.
Meanwhile VA's service-disabled veteran-owned contract actions fell 41.8%. The same agency, the same month, the large-vendor lane expanding while the small-business lane contracted. Figures are civilian-agency obligations through 2026-07-31; DoD FPDS for this window is labeled incomplete.
This issue is the whole civilian market. Your capture plan isn't.
