A well done and detailed analysis of not only the 8(a) program, but what appears to be the fate of all small business set-aside programs. Federal small business prime and subcontractors would do well to closely follow legislation going through the small business committees and congress. It appears the ultimate intent is to do away with all set-aside programs. This will have a significant impact the 25% small businesscontracting goal. So much for “Small Business is the backbone of the economy, providing jobs, driving innovation and contributing significantly to the GDP.” The mantra used by all presidential candidates. I hope I’m wrong!

Thank you, Dean. That would be a big loss. I hope that’s doesn’t transpire.
Thanks for the analysis. 🧐
