Improving the Air Force Small-Business Performance Expectations Methodology

Abstract

The U.S. government is interested in helping small businesses, and it does so by funneling some of its purchasing to them by using procurement preferences. Its goal is to award small businesses 23 percent of all eligible federal obligations (Pub. L. 85-536, 2013). Federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), contribute toward this goal with agency- specific small-business goals. Within DoD, the military services have individual small-business goals that partly depend on the goods and services they purchase.
