fedcomp-index-scoring 2026.3.3

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

FedComp Index Scoring

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
