Small businesses shortchanged as Feds fail to reach contract goal

The federal government failed to meet its goal of awarding 23 percent of its procurement dollars to small businesses, according to preliminary 2007 data.

The official numbers won't be released until August, but it appears small businesses received 22.1 percent of federal contracting dollars in 2007, said Calvin Jenkins, the Small Business Administration's deputy associate administrator for government contracting and business development.

That percentage was down from 2006, when small businesses' share was 22.8 percent, also short of the goal.

More money flowed to small businesses last year, however, because overall federal contracting increased to more than $436 billion.

Hitting the 23 percent goal was harder for agencies last year because they could no longer count contracts awarded to small businesses that were acquired by large businesses. more
