Contents:
Introduction -- 8(a) policies and Native American companies -- Quantitative analysis of recent contracts for native groups -- Findings from qualitative analyses -- Findings and recommendations -- Appendix A. Public Law 111-84, Section 811: Justification and Approval of Sole-Source Contracts -- Appendix B. Congressional Request for a Study of the Effects of J & A Provisions -- Appendix C. Selected Dates in the Evolution of Small Business Policy -- Appendix D. Variation in 8(a) Requirements, by Type of Business -- Appendix E. Provision and Incentives for DoD to Outsource Directly to Native American-Owned Firms -- Appendix F. Numbers of Contracts, by Year -- Appendix G. Interview Protocol.
Summary: Some participants in the federal 8(a) Business Development Program, including Alaska Native Corporations, Indian tribes, and Native Hawaiian Organizations, face no limit on the value of sole-source contracts they can receive. Concerns over the rising number of these contracts led to requirements for justification and approval of contracts above $20 million. This raised other concerns regarding the effects of the new requirements on Native American-owned firms and contracting personnel. The new federal requirement may delay the award of these contracts but have little impact on the number of such contracts awarded.
