How does the SBA ensure that agencies meet the government-wide 23 percent small business goal?
SBA negotiates with each agency mutually acceptable prime and subcontract goals for each small business category. SBA must ensure that the mutually established cumulative goals for all agencies meet or exceed the government-wide 23 percent small business goal. SBA can not accept an individual agency’s goal until in the aggregate, the government-wide goal is established. Subsequently, SBA compiles and analyzes agencies’ achievements against their individual goals and reports the results to the President.
