Small Business Procurement Scorecard
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Small Business Administration is revising the format of the annual Small Business Procurement Scorecard to provide more clarity and transparency on the federal government’s performance in meeting its small business contracting goals. The revised scorecard will be based on an A through F letter grade system, as opposed to the previous red, yellow, green ratings.
The overall small business prime contracting goals have been established by Congress to ensure that small businesses get their fair share of federal contracts. The government-wide goal for prime contracts to small businesses is 23 percent of total qualified contract dollars, with additional goals of 5 percent for small disadvantaged businesses, 5 percent for women-owned businesses, 3 percent for HUB Zone small businesses, and 3 percent for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses.
“Federal contracts provide critical opportunities for small businesses to grow and create jobs. This revision builds on our ongoing efforts to strengthen the integrity of the overall process for small business contracting, while also expanding opportunities for small businesses to compete for and win federal contracts.” Said SBA Administrator Karen Mills.
The letter grades for prime contracting and subcontracting will show an A+ for agencies that meet or exceed 120 percent of their goals, an A for those between 100 percent and 119 percent, a B for 90 to 99 percent, a C for 80 to 89 percent, a D for 70 to 79 percent and an F for less than 70 percent.
In last year’s Scorecard rating performance for the FY 2008 contracting year, small businesses won 21.5 percent of contract dollars, or about $93.3 billion out of a small business-eligible base of about $434 billion. More than half of all agencies met their individual goals. The small business eligible base for FY 2009 was about $437 billion.
