SAME SB COI Webinar: Challenges Facing Transitioning Federal Small Businesses: A Proposed Framework

The government has heavily invested in cultivating a strong small business sector through the Small Business Administration (SBA) and various set-aside policies. However, existing literature suggests that small and mid-sized firms face tremendous difficulties when they transition from small to “other-than-small” and that very few successfully make the transition. Further, while the Government has adopted some recommendations to help businesses successfully make the transition, there has been no remedy to address the fundamental obstacle – that small businesses under the current structure are incentivized to remain small in order to benefit from government set-asides. This presentation will provide background efforts by the government and others to address this problem as well as the latest August 2021 White Paper analysis using the Sector 23 Construction NAICS 236220. The webinar will also present the proposed solution which, given legislative authority, the SBA could implement as a Pilot Program.
