It also sets a 5% goal for SDBs and woman-owned businesses, and a 3% goal for service-disabled veteran-owned firms and HUBZone companies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdsupra.com\/legalnews\/government-awards-over-154-billion-in-8918699\/\" target=\"_blank\">according to the law firm Schoonover &amp; Moriarty LLC.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 2016 and 2020, OMB said federal award spending in the SDB category averaged below 10 percent. That\u2019s as the number of new small business entrants to federal procurement tumbled by 60 percent over the last decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Biden administration is seeking to address inequity in federal procurement, modifying category management procedures to buffer small businesses from being bumped by larger contractors, increasing data transparency on awardees and ensuring the 40,000 federal contracting officers who focus on small-business have direct reporting lines to senior leadership to maintain accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s the Small Business Administration\u2019s responsibility to ensure the government-wide goal for participation of small businesses is established annually at the statutory levels, and that the reporting agencies\u2019 achievements are relative to the goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agencies receive goal credit for a a contract that is awarded to a priority business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Individual agencies have also taken steps to pad up small-business procurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the National Defense Authorization Act for 2023, the Pentagon calls for making permanent the DoD Mentor Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Program, which partners large businesses with small businesses to help them navigate the defense acquisition system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Socially disadvantaged individuals are those who have been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias within American society because of their identities as members of groups and without regard to their individual qualities, <a
