Report on the Implementation of the FY 1987 National Defense Authorization Act Section 1207, Contract Goal for Minorities.
Abstract
FY 1987 National Defense Authorization Act, Public Law 99-661, section 1207 establishes a 5% contract and a subcontract goal on Department of Defense awards to small disadvantaged businesses (SDB), historically Black colleges and universities and minority institutions for FYs 1987, 1988, and 1989. This Act authorizes the Secretary of Defense to use less than full and open competition and to pay up to 10% above a fair market cost to accomplish the 5% goal. It also authorizes the placement of contracts with private sector entities to provide technical assistance to the target communities. The Deputy Secretary of Defense assigned specific goals to implement the 5% contract and subcontract goal to the Military Services and Defense Agencies on December 23, 1986. Also, based on the authority contained in the Act, the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition) after careful review and analysis of the provisions, developed policies and procedures to implement certain new authorities. These policies and procedures, which were issued in the Federal Register on May 4, 1987, included an interim-rule covering a SDB set-aside, and other proposed alternatives including the authority to negotiate sole source contracts with SDBs and the payment of up to a 10% differential to SDBs bidding in open competition in order to award contracts to attain the goal.
