Yes, and that is very true.
Through our contracting officers in the 24 different federal agencies across the United States government, SBA does monitor that to make sure that they are not add-on, burdensome requirements that will not facilitate small business participation.
We give the 24 agencies a scorecard on their ability to reach that 23% goal that we hope to make, even though it's not a mandated goal. We do look at them and we ask, “Are you allowing small business participation? Are you simplifying and making easier access for small businesses to participate? And are you awarding small businesses contracts up to the level goal?” And we give them a rating of red, green, or yellow based on their ability to meet those goals.
