This data with the new processes and facts around it gives GovCon a complete picture of how small businesses might (will) be impacted under consolidated buying. Great analysis and info for small businesses, and also large businesses seeking subcontractors and suppliers to meet their subcontracting goals. This is exactly the information folks need to help strategize next steps in this new buying era.
I appreciate your deep dive on how consolidation and category management squeeze out local small businesses. My research shows tier 2 GWACs like 8(a) STARS III, VETS2, CIO-SP4 SB, and OASIS SB are driving even more awards to national “small” primes. Given this acceleration, what can local/main street advocates or businesses do—practically or politically—to push for a contracting environment that truly supports small, community-based firms?
I corrected an error above: The title of the OMB memo is Consolidating Federal Procurement Activities, not Correcting Federal Procurement Activities.
