Abstract

Defense prime contract awards for Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) work are included in Table I and are shown separately in Table II. Small business firms were awarded $1,264 million in Department of Defense RDT&E prime contracts during Fiscal Year 1986 compared with $1,188 million during Fiscal Year 1985. Of the total RDT&E prime contracts awarded to business firms, small business received 7.5 percent during this period, an increase of 0.2 percent over last year. Data on subcontract commitments to small business firms during Fiscal Year 1986 are shown in Table III. Commitment figures are obtained from large business firms which receive prime contract awards of $500,000 or more having subcontracting opportunities. The reporting large business firms committed a total of $51,231 million in subcontracts during Fiscal Year 1986 of which $19,650 million, or 38.4 percent, went to small business firms. This represents an increase of $160 million, or 1.4 percent to small business concerns over the same period last year.
