SBA Invites YOU – Our Valuable Resource Partners to Hear what Small Businesses Think

The Small Business Jobs Act (SBJA) has 19 provisions which will directly impact how the Federal Government buys its goods and services. You will have an opportunity to influence how the SBJA provisions are implemented as well as to hear first-hand the concerns and issues as expressed by our small business customers.

Senior SBA Headquarters and Field Office officials and policy makers will be conducting 13 nationwide events, including one in San Diego on April 11. In addition to being a part of these important discussions, you will have an opportunity to offer input on SBJA provisions including the following contracting topic areas:

1) Multiple Award Contract Set-Asides;
2) Subcontracting: misrepresentations, plan improvements and timeliness of payment;
3) Mentor Protégé Programs for women, HUBZone and Service Disabled Veteran firms;
4) Presumption of Loss to the Government due to willful misrepresentation of size and
annual certification of size;
5) Size Standards; and,
6) other key SBJA provisions.

Please go to http://www.sba.gov/jobsacttour/
for details related to the event including the day’s agenda. Please see the attached letter from Joe Jordan, SBA’s Associate Administrator for Government Contracting and Business Development, inviting your participation at this important event. Thank you!
