Government Contracts and Small Minority-Owned Businesses by Gregor Meijir Pdf

Each year, the government obligates billions in contracts to businesses, nearly $537 billion in fiscal year 2011. About $104 billion (19.4 percent) was obligated to small businesses that identified themselves as minority-owned. In this book, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) describes what federal agency officials and advocacy groups identified as challenges small, minority-owned businesses may face in seeking federal government contracts, including and linguistic or cultural barriers, and agencies efforts to address them; and what information is available on federal efforts to assist small, minority-owned businesses in contracting with the federal government.

Government Contracting by U.s. Government Accountability Office Pdf

" Each year, the government obligates billions in contracts to businesses-nearly $537 billion in fiscal year 2011. About $104 billion (19.4 percent) was obligated to small businesses, and over $36 billion of this amount was obligated to small businesses that identified themselves as minority-owned (see figure). In this report, GAO describes (1) what federal agency officials and advocacy groups identified as challenges small, minority-owned businesses may face in seeking federal government contracts-including any linguistic or cultural barriers-and agencies' efforts to address them, and (2) what information is available on federal efforts to assist small, minority-owned businesses in contracting with the federal government. For selected agencies, GAO analyzed data on obligations to minority-owned businesses, reviewed information on programs and resources that can assist minority-owned businesses, reviewed relevant information from the Department of Justice on agencies' Limited English Proficiency plans, and interviewed officials from selected federal agencies and advocacy groups that provide assistance to minority-owned businesses. In written comments, Commerce said that GAO had not covered all federal efforts to support small, minority-owned business contracting. As GAO noted in the report, this study focused on selected agencies and contracting activities that accounted for about 70 percent of total federal obligations to small, minority"

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.
