Federal policy requires that small businesses receive the maximum practicable opportunity for providing goods and services to federal agencies through prime contracts-direct contracts between the government and a contractor. The Department of Energy (DOE) buys more than $20 billion in goods and services annually. GAO was asked to (1) discuss DOE's key efforts to increase small business prime contracting opportunities and (2) identify the management challenges DOE faces in improving its small business prime contracting performance. In addition to these objectives GAO is providing information on the management of small business programs by other federal agencies that either share certain characteristics with DOE's largest program offices or that have components that share certain characteristics with these offices.

The U.S. government spends hundreds of billions of dollars annually in contracting, which includes a 23% small business goal (GAO, 2017a) (SBA, 2018b). There is minimal existing literature about the cost to the government to use small businesses versus large businesses in contracting. Gansler, Lucysyn, and Burdg (2015) stated that small businesses are costlier to the government due to higher labor rates, while Richwine (2017) indicated that overall, small businesses charge lower rates than large businesses in certain categories. The theoretical basis for this study is Wernerfelt’s (1984) resource-based view (RBV), which stated that the assets of a firm are its resources, such as its available technology, knowledge base, and other attributes. This research compared 382 labor categories of large and small businesses taken from available government contracts data. A Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test showed that the labor costs of small businesses are significantly less expensive than large businesses. An online survey of small business owners also showed that the major hurdles faced are due to the paperwork required to respond to bids and a perceived lack of communication from government contracting officials, among other issues. While the government stands to save money by increasing contracting with small businesses potentially, work must also be done to simplify the contracting process.

This paper garners information crucial to understanding business growth for new entrants and small businesses who contract with the federal government by utilizing publicly available contracting data from the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) to track new entrants from 2001-2016. This information is then used to evaluate entrances, exits, and status changes among federal vendors with the purpose of comparing challenges faced by small businesses with those of larger ones. Measuring market trends over time and in multiple sectors shows how the challenges facing small businesses, such as market barriers to entry and imperfect competition, keep them from growing. The final results compare the survival rates between small and non-small new entrants contracting with the federal government and analyze the graduation rates for those small new entrants who grew in size during the observation period and survived after ten years. The study finds that around 40 percent of new entrants exit the market for federal contracts after three years, around 50-60 percent after five years, and only about one-fifth of new entrants remain in the federal contracting arena in the final year of observation. Across the six samples studied, thegraduation rates of small businesses consistently decrease.

It has been clear for at least 50 years the disadvantages that small businesses face in competing for U.S. government contracts. The Small Business Act of 1953 created the Small Business Administration (SBA), an independent agency in the executive branch that counsels and assists specific types of small businesses including firms owned by minorities and other socially and economically disadvantaged individuals and firms owned by women. Women-owned small businesses, however, are underrepresented or substantially underrepresented in some industries. In 2002, the SBA Office of Federal Contract Assistance for Women Business Owners (CAWBO) organized a draft study containing a preliminary set of approximations of the representation of women-owned small businesses in federal prime contracts over $25,000 by industry. Because of the past legal challenges to race- and gender-conscious contracting programs at the federal and local levels, the SBA asked the Committee on National Statistics of the National Academies to conduct an independent review of relevant data and estimation methods prior to finalizing the CAWBO study. The Steering Committee on Women-Owned Small Businesses in Federal Contracting was created and charged with holding a workshop to discuss topics including the accuracy of data and methods to estimate the use of women-owned small businesses in federal contracting and the definition of "underrepresentation" and "substantial underrepresentation" in designating industries for which preferential contracting programs might be warranted. Analyzing Information on Women-Owned Small Businesses in Federal Contracting presents the committee's report as well as the recommendations that committees have made.

Don't be the best in the world at what you do; be the only one in the world who does what you do. --Jerry Garcia Government Contracting Classified is a book of issues and problems concerning government contracting. Henry was raised in a small town (population about eighty) in Northern Middle Tennessee three miles from the Kentucky border. That area is now known as Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. That town was Model, Tennessee. He retired after thirty-two years from the federal government as a federal contracting officer and division chief with an unlimited warrant. Then he ran the Center for Government Contracting at the Dallas County Community College Small Business Development Center (SBDC), where he taught seminars and counseled contractors about government contracting. After that for nine years, he owned his own business, where he wrote technical proposals for contractors. His last position was on the staff of the University of Texas at Arlington Cross Timbers Procurement Technical Assistance Center, and he retired after more than fourteen years. He conducted government contracting webinars/seminars and did one-on-one counseling with potential and current government contractors (small, medium-sized, and large contractors). He worked with federal, state, and local governments. Henry has conducted over seven hundred webinars/seminars, mostly in Texas, over the past twenty-five years. He counseled thousands of contractors and had thousands in his seminars. During his time as a Contracting Officer with an unlimited warrant and working for colleges and universities, he noticed several issues and problems kept coming up over and over. He has identified many of those issues and problems. He points them out in this book with commentary. Although this book is not all-inclusive, it does identify many issues and problems that should be of interest to newcomers and the seasoned government contractor as well. Henry not only points out important issues and problems but provides his personal comments (with seriousness and humor). I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie. --Galatians 1:20
