fedcomp-index-scoring 2026.3.1

FedComp Index scoring engine. Computes posture scores and posture classes for federal contractors from USASpending award data.

FedComp Index

Federal contractor posture scoring. Scores any federal contractor from 0 to 100 based on public award data from USASpending.gov.

Each contractor receives a FedComp Index score and a posture class:

• Class 1 (score 60+) - dominant award volume, typically $100M+ over 5 years
• Class 2 (score 40-59) - mid-tier, typically $5M-$100M
• Class 3 (below 40) - emerging or low-volume

Install

pip install fedcomp-index

Usage

from fedcomp_index import score_contractor, PostureClass

result = score_contractor(
    total_awards_usd=45_000_000,
    last_award_date="2025-09-15"
)

result.fedcomp_index    # 58
result.posture_class    # PostureClass.CLASS_2
result.volume_driver    # 55
result.recency_driver   # 100

FedComp Index scoring methodology

Two drivers, no normalization:

Driver	Weight	How it works
Award volume	90%	log10 of total dollars won, mapped to 0-100
Award recency	10%	Last award date, bucketed by age

The FedComp Index score is an absolute measure. A contractor scoring 60 always represents roughly the same award volume regardless of state or time period. Scores are not percentile-ranked against peers.

Posture classes use fixed thresholds tied to the score:

Posture class	FedComp Index score	Typical award volume
Class 1	60-100	$100M+
Class 2	40-59	$5M-$100M
Class 3	0-39	Under $5M
