Congress has mandated the Air Force to reform and streamline its
acquisition procedures while promoting participation by small
business contractors. Reports on the federal government as a whole
suggest that the acquisition reforms have had a negative effect on
small business participation, with a declining number of small
businesses receiving contract awards. Contracting with small
business should be done for reasons beyond Congressional mandates.
Small businesses' innovativeness and entrepreneurialism provide
benefits that the Air Force should seek to maximize. A causal
regression model is used to determine that the Air Force has
actually increased the number of small businesses receiving
contract awards over the past thirteen years and has maintained a
steady stream of new small businesses into that group. Variables
are tested to determine their effect on small business
participation. Those tests reveal that number of contract awards
and number of government-wide agency contract orders placed are
useful for predictive purposes. The research also identifies two
performance measurements for the Air Force small business office:
total number of small business contractors and total number of new
small business contractors. Goals for these metrics and strategies
to reach those goals should be developed by the small business
program.
