House Small Business Committee Hearing: Growing the Small Business Supplier Base in Government Contracting
On October 13, 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives Small Business Committee Subcommittee on Contracting and Infrastructure held a remote hearing titled: “Growing the Small Business Supplier Base in Government Contracting.”
In the last decade, the federal small business supplier base has shrunk by an astounding 40 percent. While not the only factor, Category Management has substantially contributed and accelerated this decrease. The hearing will examine Category Management and its impact on small businesses serving as federal prime contractors. The hearing will also explore potential solutions to reverse this trend and grow our federal small business supplier base.
Our thanks goes out to the House Small Business Committee and the tremendous job done by those providing testimony.
