Analyzing Information on Women-Owned Small Businesses in Federal Contracting by National Research Council,Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,Committee on National Statistics,Steering Committee for the Workshop on Women-Owned Small Businesses in Federal Contracting Pdf

It has been clear for at least 50 years the disadvantages that small businesses face in competing for U.S. government contracts. The Small Business Act of 1953 created the Small Business Administration (SBA), an independent agency in the executive branch that counsels and assists specific types of small businesses including firms owned by minorities and other socially and economically disadvantaged individuals and firms owned by women. Women-owned small businesses, however, are underrepresented or substantially underrepresented in some industries. In 2002, the SBA Office of Federal Contract Assistance for Women Business Owners (CAWBO) organized a draft study containing a preliminary set of approximations of the representation of women-owned small businesses in federal prime contracts over $25,000 by industry. Because of the past legal challenges to race- and gender-conscious contracting programs at the federal and local levels, the SBA asked the Committee on National Statistics of the National Academies to conduct an independent review of relevant data and estimation methods prior to finalizing the CAWBO study. The Steering Committee on Women-Owned Small Businesses in Federal Contracting was created and charged with holding a workshop to discuss topics including the accuracy of data and methods to estimate the use of women-owned small businesses in federal contracting and the definition of "underrepresentation" and "substantial underrepresentation" in designating industries for which preferential contracting programs might be warranted. Analyzing Information on Women-Owned Small Businesses in Federal Contracting presents the committee's report as well as the recommendations that committees have made.

New Entrants and Small Business Graduation in the Market for Federal Contracts by Andrew P. Hunter,Samantha Cohen Pdf

This paper garners information crucial to understanding business growth for new entrants and small businesses who contract with the federal government by utilizing publicly available contracting data from the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) to track new entrants from 2001-2016. This information is then used to evaluate entrances, exits, and status changes among federal vendors with the purpose of comparing challenges faced by small businesses with those of larger ones. Measuring market trends over time and in multiple sectors shows how the challenges facing small businesses, such as market barriers to entry and imperfect competition, keep them from growing. The final results compare the survival rates between small and non-small new entrants contracting with the federal government and analyze the graduation rates for those small new entrants who grew in size during the observation period and survived after ten years. The study finds that around 40 percent of new entrants exit the market for federal contracts after three years, around 50-60 percent after five years, and only about one-fifth of new entrants remain in the federal contracting arena in the final year of observation. Across the six samples studied, thegraduation rates of small businesses consistently decrease.

Federal Procurement by United States. General Accounting Office Pdf

Concerned that women-owned small businesses (WOSB) were receiving contracts for only 2.2 percent less than one-half of the 5-percent government wide goal of the almost $200 billion in goods and services the federal government purchases each year, the Congress mandated that we review the progress the federal government has made to increase its contracting with WOSBs and identify any measures that could improve the government's performance in contracting with WOSBs. This report responds to the mandate by providing information on: 1. trends in federal contracting with WOSBs since fiscal year 1996, 2. obstacles that federal contracting officials perceive to contracting with WOSBs, 3. suggestions from these officials to help increase federal contracting with WOSBs, and 4. concerns of these officials about the WOSB contracting goals established for individual agencies.
