The Small Business Administration removed the cap on government contracts set aside for women-owned and economically disadvantaged women-owned small businesses.
Before this week, federal government contracts were capped at $6.5 million for manufacturing contracts and $4 million for all other contracts under the Women-Owned Small-Business Program. According to a rule change published Tuesday in the government’s official journal, the Federal Register, the thresholds placed on those programs have been lifted, effective immediately.
The rule change aims to help the federal government meet its mandate of 5 percent of contracts going to women-owned small businesses. In 2011, the most recent year for which the data has been compiled, women-owned small businesses received 3.98 percent of distributed contracts, falling short of the mandate.
To be considered a woman-owned small business and be eligible for the contracts under that designation, a company has to be at least 51 percent owned and controlled by at least one woman and has to be primarily managed by at least one woman. To be considered economically disadvantaged, a business has to meet financial requirements and be considered socially disadvantaged according to rules set out by the SBA.
Don’t have to self-identify, just have a paper only woman 51% owner (your wife, mistress or girlfriend will do).
And yet the left calls bathroom policies “discrimination”
The REAL bigots are on the left
Hey guys! Need more work? Just self-identify as a woman!
They would have to contradict themselves if they did not allow this.
Although Liberals hold many contradictory positions.
