BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Proposals For Minimizing

The Impact Of The 8(a)

Program On Defense Procurement



The Small Business Administration's 8(a)
procurement program offers noncompeti-
tive Government contracts and other as-
sistance to socially and economically dis-
advantaged firms to encourage business
development. GAO evaluated the impact of
the 8(a) program on the Department of
Defense--the program's largest participant.

GAO believes that program costs can be
made visible by allowing procurement agencies
to set 8(a) contract prices through the
competitive process. GAO also believes
that performance problems could be reduced
and procurement leadtimes shortened if
procurement agencies contracted directly
with selected 8(a) firms.

GAO recommends improvements in DOD's
and SBA's regulations and suggests op-
tions for the Congress to consider to mini-
mize the likelihood of adverse impacts.
