SMALL BUSINESSES FUEL THE ECONOMY
  • Americas 25.5 million small businesses generate
    more than half of the nations gross domestic
    product create 80 percent of all the net new
    jobs in the United States and employ 52 percent
    of the private sector work force.
  • The entrepreneurial spirit burns brightly as
    the creativity and productivity of Americas
    small businesses make our Nations business
    community the envy of the world.
  • -- President Bill Clinton (January 2000)
  • The Department is committed to fully engaging
    small businesses in DOEs core missions and
    programs. We are proud to provide 3 billion in
    contracting opportunities to small businesses,
    but I want to see the Department do more.
  • I want to see more contracts set-aside for
    small business, including more contracting with
    small disadvantaged, women-owned and HUBZone
    firms. Im a firm believer in the need to get
    small businesses increasingly involved in the
    scientific and technical work that propels the
    U.S. Energy Department through its missions.
    Small businesses have the talent and capabilities
    to take on this type of work.
  • -- Energy Secretary Bill Richardson (April
    2000)

SMALL BUSINESS ACT (P.L. 95-507)
  • Since small business growth is vital to the U.S.
    economy, this law
  • requires Federal agencies to provide small
    businesses with the
  • maximum practicable opportunity to participate in
    contract awards.
  • Mandates Federal government-wide goal of 23
    small business prime contracting
  • Requires agencies to establish goals for small
    business prime and subcontracting participation
  • Including goals for 8(a) and small disadvantaged,
    women-owned, HUBZone, and disabled-veteran-owned
    businesses.

5
PARTNERING WITH SMALL BUSINESS
  • DOE plays a key role in helping small businesses
    succeed in scientific, technical, and
    energy-related fields.
  • Likewise, the Department benefits from the
    creativity and innovations of small business.

6
ESTABLISHING FY2000 and FY2001 GOALS
  • Recent actions will have a long-term impact on
  • the Departments Small Business Goals
  • In November 1999, OMB/OFPP modified DOEs 9-year
    method of reporting prime goals, effective
    FY2000.
  • No longer count MO subcontracts toward prime
    achievements
  • Changes the number of prime contract
    opportunities from 17 in FY1999 to 3 in FY2000

7
CHANGE IN REPORTING FORMAT
  • SBA assigned DOE prime contract challenge goal of
    5 (757 million) in FY2000, in an effort to meet
    23 government-wide goal.
