CED-81-22 1 (1981-01-23)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabbly0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES The 8(a) Pilot Program For Disadvantaged Small Businesses Has Not Been Effective The Small Business Administration's use of a special pilot program which gives SBA the authority to demand contracts for the 8(a) program has not been successful. SBA (1) did not have enough information to properly assess and match 8(a) firms' capabil- ities with pilot procurements and (2) approved 8(a) firms to perform pilot contracts without knowing their capabilities. GAO believes SBA made a poor choice of those firms that were awarded the three initial pilot contracts. There is a difference between Army, which was selected as the pilot agency, and SBA over the way the pilot program can be used most effectively. GAO is recommending that the Congress allow further testing of the pilot program in an additional agency that, unlike the Army, has not demonstrated its complete support for the 8(a) program. ,\A,$D S7%.
