In "The Case: SBA Failure to Protect 8a Contractor Combating Fraud"
Joseph N. Cooper discusses the serious problem of federal
government contracts designated for small and women or
minority-owned businesses being fraudulently given away to large,
multi-million dollar firms. It is based on the story of the
author's business, J. Cooper & Associates, a small business
that participated in the U.S. Small Business Administration 8(a)
program. His business had acquired an $8-million contract with the
former Immigration and Naturalization Service only to see it
evaporate when a federal contracting officer rescinded the deal and
gave it away to friends who ran a large corporation, which was
neither small nor wholly owned by women or minorities. Cooper
claims J. Walter Thompson, Bernard Hodes and CASS Communications
benefitted from this act. Unlike other small business owners who
witnessed government malfeasance, Cooper took his case to two
courts over a 15-year period to fight for justice. His is the first
and only case of its type to appear in court regarding fraud in
this particular government program. "The Case" is a book that will
inform small business owners and entrepreneurs planning to launch a
business of their own just how easy it is for the federal
government to destroy a small firm. "When entering into an
agreement or contract, one should have a good understanding of the
contract and do not, under any circumstances, do anything that is
asked of you by the contracting officer or program officer until
you get it in writing," Cooper advises. His blistering expose will
give insight into the significant legal hurdles his business had to
clear in order to obtain justice. It shows explicitly how
government contracting offices and courts ignored long-standing
laws and existing regulations. The reader will get the chance to
view the entire legal argument made before the U.S. Federal Claims
Court as well as understand why small businesses have lost over $35
billion in Federal Small Business contracts to big businesses. "The
Case" is an eye-opening book that will shock small business owners
and educate anyone concerned about government fraud in contracting
offices.
