Book excerpt: For several decades the Federal Government has sought to aid and assist small businesses. These efforts have included congressional establishment of government-wide statutory goals for the Federal Government to purchase at least 23 percent of all its goods and services from small businesses. Because the Department of Defense (DoD) purchases about two-thirds of all goods and services the Federal Government buys, its purchasing practices greatly affect the success of federal procurement policy favoring small businesses. The DoD has had mixed success in meeting the procurement goal. Given the importance of DoD purchases to government-wide small-business procurement efforts, Congress asked the DoD Office of Small Business Programs for an assessment of impediments to small-business owners in contracting or subcontracting with the department. The DoD in turn authorized RAND to undertake this study in February 2008, and the study was completed in May 2008. As requested, the report includes, among other topics, analyses of available data on the following: (1) small-business size thresholds and how these affect the ability of a firm to work for the DoD, (2) contract bundling, (3) the distribution of small-business subcontracts between professional services and research and development, (4) transitioning Small Business Innovation Research programs to procurement, (5) the effects of the DoD Vendor Pay system on small business, (6) the effects of the Mentor-Protege Program, and (7) impediments to the success of businesses that graduate from small-business programs or seek to become larger businesses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Created in 1982 through the Small Business Innovation Development Act, the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program remains the nation's single largest innovation program for small business. The SBIR program offers competitive awards to support the development and commercialization of innovative technologies by small private-sector businesses. At the same time, the program provides government agencies with technical and scientific solutions that address their different missions. SBIR at the Department of Defense considers ways that the Department of Defense SBIR program could work better in addressing the congressional objectives for the SBIR program to stimulate technological innovation, use small businesses to meet federal research and development (R & D) needs, foster and encourage the participation of socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses, and increase the private sector commercialization of innovations derived from federal R&D. An earlier report, An Assessment of the Small Business Innovation Research Program at the Department of Defense, studied how the SBIR program has stimulated technological innovation and used small businesses to meet federal research and development needs. This report builds on the previous one, with a revised survey of SBIR companies. SBIR at the Department of Defense revisits some case studies from the 2009 study and develops new ones, and interviews agency managers and other stakeholders to provide a second snapshot of the program's progress toward achieving its legislative goals.

This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SBIR program allocates 2.5 percent of 11 federal agencies' extramural R&D budgets to fund R&D projects by small businesses, providing approximately $2 billion annually in competitive awards. At the request of Congress, the National Academies conducted a comprehensive study of how the SBIR program has stimulated technological innovation and used small businesses to meet federal research and development needs. Drawing substantially on new data collection, this book examines the SBIR program at the Department of Defense and makes recommendations for improvements. Separate reports will assess the SBIR program at NSF, NIH, DOE, and NASA, respectively, along with a comprehensive report on the entire program.
