Summary:

This report examines the Defense Department's (DOD) implementation of 10 U.S.C. 2323, which recommends the award of five percent of DOD contract dollars to minority small businesses, historically black colleges and universities, and minority institutions. These contracts could involve procurement; military construction; operation and maintenance; and research, development, test, and evaluation. GAO discusses DOD's (1) progress toward the five-percent program goal, (2) use of certain contracting procedures authorized to achieve the section 2323 goal, and (3) progress in boosting participation by minority small business concerns.
