Yours is the run down I've been patiently waiting for. Thank you, Sam. I will be citing it in an upcoming white paper in progress now on the state of the WOSB program.
The tribal entity note is an interesting editorial choice to make while claiming with a straight face they aren’t a target of their attacks on the 8A program…..
Sam Le’s research on the shrinking number of small businesses with federal contracts matches what I have been seeing at individual agencies. The impact? Small firms in hundreds of counties shut out of the federal marketplace. This is a loss of competition that inevitably raises price and stifles innovation. Consolidation also shuts out local expertise that can’t be replicated. According to Sam Le, “The number of small business prime contractors dropped by over 4,000 to just 56,725. Just 13 years ago, that number was over 100,000. There are now fewer than 12,000 women-owned prime contractors, and just 2,619 HUBZone prime contractors.” More on our research in the comments…
