Contract Coding

One of SBA’s primary goals is to make sure that small businesses receive a fair portion of Federal procurement dollars. SBA has taken many important steps to improve the accuracy of business coding for Federal Government contracts to ensure that all of the dollars awarded in the name of small business actually go to small businesses. These improvements include:

• Improved accuracy of small business database;
• Improved accuracy of contractor data; 
• More timely contract data; 
• Closing of certification loopholes; 
• Novated contracts must now be recertified;
• Permitting size protests on unrestricted procurements; 
• SBA lists large firms on its Website.
