Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date June 12, 2019
Release Date June 12, 2019
Report No. GAO-19-623T
Summary:

We testified that the Small Business Administration could do more to address recommendations in 3 of our prior reports.

We recommended that SBA improve its oversight of 2 programs intended to increase contract opportunities for two groups: women-owned businesses and businesses operating in "underutilized" areas. SBA could better review the vetting of applicants and participants to ensure awards go to eligible businesses.

In 2018, we found errors and recommended an evaluation of SBA's annual Small Business Procurement Scorecard, which measures the federal government's contracting efforts. SBA proposed an approach for evaluating the scorecard.
