The Small Business Admin. (SBA) helps socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses gain access to federal contracting opportunities through its 8(a) program. To participate, firms must be at least 51% owned and controlled by an individual who meets SBA's criteria of socially and economically disadvantaged. The firm must also qualify as a small business. Once certified, 8(a) firms are eligible to receive sole-source and set-aside contracts for up to 9 years. This report: (1) determined whether ineligible firms are participating in the 8(a) program; (2) proactively tested SBA's controls over the 8(a) application process; and (3) determined what vulnerabilities, if any, exist in SBA's fraud prevention system.

By:"Gregory D. Kutz"
Published on 2010-11 by DIANE Publishing

The SBA¿s Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) program provides federal contracting assistance to small firms located in economically distressed areas, with the intent of stimulating economic development. In 2008 and 2009, there were reports on substantial vulnerabilities to fraud and abuse in the HUBZone application and monitoring process. Ten HUBZone firms in the Wash., D.C., area and 19 firms in 4 other metro areas in Alabama, California, and Texas made fraudulent or inaccurate representations to get into or remain in the HUBZone program. This report: (1) performed additional testing of SBA's HUBZone certification process; and (2) determined whether SBA has taken any actions against the 29 firms identified in a previous report.
