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.

Women-Owned Small Business Program by William B. Shear Pdf

Women-owned businesses contribute significantly to the U.S. economy. According to the most recent Census Survey of Business Owners, 28.7%, or 7.8 million, of all U.S. businesses in 2007 were women-owned. Between 1997 and 2007, the number of women-owned businesses grew by 44% (or twice as fast as businesses owned by men) adding roughly 500,000 jobs nationwide. However, the federal government has yet to meet its annual goal of awarding 5% of its procurement to WOSBs. In 2000, Congress authorized the WOSB program to increase contracting opportunities for WOSBs by allowing contracting officers to set aside procurements to such businesses. The Small Business Administration (SBA), which administers the program, issued implementing regulations that became effective in 2011. This report examines (1) how businesses are certified as eligible for the WOSB program; (2) SBA's oversight of certifications; and (3) the effect the program has had on federal contracting opportunities available to WOSBs or economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSBs). Tables and figure. This is a print on demand report.

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.

Classified by Henry Vinson Pdf

Don't be the best in the world at what you do; be the only one in the world who does what you do. --Jerry Garcia Government Contracting Classified is a book of issues and problems concerning government contracting. Henry was raised in a small town (population about eighty) in Northern Middle Tennessee three miles from the Kentucky border. That area is now known as Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. That town was Model, Tennessee. He retired after thirty-two years from the federal government as a federal contracting officer and division chief with an unlimited warrant. Then he ran the Center for Government Contracting at the Dallas County Community College Small Business Development Center (SBDC), where he taught seminars and counseled contractors about government contracting. After that for nine years, he owned his own business, where he wrote technical proposals for contractors. His last position was on the staff of the University of Texas at Arlington Cross Timbers Procurement Technical Assistance Center, and he retired after more than fourteen years. He conducted government contracting webinars/seminars and did one-on-one counseling with potential and current government contractors (small, medium-sized, and large contractors). He worked with federal, state, and local governments. Henry has conducted over seven hundred webinars/seminars, mostly in Texas, over the past twenty-five years. He counseled thousands of contractors and had thousands in his seminars. During his time as a Contracting Officer with an unlimited warrant and working for colleges and universities, he noticed several issues and problems kept coming up over and over. He has identified many of those issues and problems. He points them out in this book with commentary. Although this book is not all-inclusive, it does identify many issues and problems that should be of interest to newcomers and the seasoned government contractor as well. Henry not only points out important issues and problems but provides his personal comments (with seriousness and humor). I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie. --Galatians 1:20
