Analyzing Information on Women-Owned Small Businesses in Federal Contracting
- Share to:
Fostering the development of small businesses has been a concern of the federal government since World War II. The charter of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), established in 1953, provides that it will ensure small businesses a “fair proportion” of federal govern- ment contracts and sales. Repeatedly, legislation has charged the SBA to oversee efforts by federal contracting agencies to award specified percent- ages of federal contracting dollars to small businesses, including those owned by women. The Small Business Reauthorization Act of 2000 provided for set-aside contracting programs for eligible women-owned small businesses in industries in which they were underrepresented or substantially underrepresented as determined by the SBA.
