Pursuant to your request, we made a review to determine whether SBA offices were uniformly applying the eligibility criteria for determining an applicant's economic or social dis- advantage for participation in the 8(a) program. The Comptroller General's report to you entitled An Analysis Of How Eligibility Criteria Are Applied For Participation In The 8(a) Program was issued on March 31, 1978, (CED-78-92). Background I would like to provide some background information on the concept and the theory of the 8(a) program before discussing our report findings. SBA uses the section 8(a) program to assist socially or economically disadvantaged small businessmen to achieve a com- petitive position in the financial marketplace by entering into procurement contracts with Federal agencies and in turn subcontract the work to these small businessmen.
