** Base for HBCU/MI measurement is awards to Higher Educational Institutions

*** HUBZone subcontracting program does not require a DoD-wide goal but requires the negotiation of HUBZone goals in all DoD contracts and subcontracts that require "Small Business Subcontracting Plans." However, SBA has assigned a DoD subcontracting goal of 3% for FY 2008

**** Defense Components are not required by DoD to establish separate HBCU/MI subcontracting goals. Instead these awards should be included when developing the subcontracting goals for Small Disadvantaged Business.
