The Department of Defense and Its Use of Small Businesses by Elaine Reardon,Nancy Y. Moore Pdf

Congress has directed that 23 percent of direct federal purchases come from small businesses. As the largest purchaser in the federal government, the Department of Defense (DoD) is key to achieving this policy objective. The impetus for this research was to suggest industries that DoD could target for outreach to small firms. This briefing compares DoD procurement from small businesses with non-DoD federal procurement from small businesses, and it documents the prevalence of small businesses in industries DoD relies upon. The analysis suggests industries for possible outreach efforts and concludes that it is more difficult for DoD to reach the procurement goal than for the rest of the federal government because of the nature of the goods it buys, such as aircraft and large weapon systems. The authors of the briefing used the Federal Procurement Data System to study government spending and the 1997 Economic Census to analyze small firms in the economy.

Enhancing Small-Business Opportunities in the DoD. by Anonim Pdf

For several decades the Federal Government has sought to aid and assist small businesses. These efforts have included congressional establishment of government-wide statutory goals for the Federal Government to purchase at least 23 percent of all its goods and services from small businesses. Because the Department of Defense (DoD) purchases about two-thirds of all goods and services the Federal Government buys, its purchasing practices greatly affect the success of federal procurement policy favoring small businesses. The DoD has had mixed success in meeting the procurement goal. Given the importance of DoD purchases to government-wide small-business procurement efforts, Congress asked the DoD Office of Small Business Programs for an assessment of impediments to small-business owners in contracting or subcontracting with the department. The DoD in turn authorized RAND to undertake this study in February 2008, and the study was completed in May 2008. As requested, the report includes, among other topics, analyses of available data on the following: (1) small-business size thresholds and how these affect the ability of a firm to work for the DoD, (2) contract bundling, (3) the distribution of small-business subcontracts between professional services and research and development, (4) transitioning Small Business Innovation Research programs to procurement, (5) the effects of the DoD Vendor Pay system on small business, (6) the effects of the Mentor-Protege Program, and (7) impediments to the success of businesses that graduate from small-business programs or seek to become larger businesses.
