WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Small Business Administration is continuing to increase transparency and accountability in small business contracting with the release of the "Top 100 Small Business Government Contractors" report. The report lists the 100 small businesses that received the most federal procurement dollars in 2006, and reinforces a series of recent administration initiatives to improve small business access to federal contracts.
"Releasing this list is part of SBA's on-going effort to increase the transparency, accuracy, and integrity of government small business contracting data," said SBA Administrator Steve Preston. "It also ensures that federal contracts get into the hands of small businesses and that federal agencies receive credit towards their small business contracting goals."
The Top 100 small businesses received approximately $12 billion in FY 2006, about one-sixth of all federal small business contract dollars paid that year.
The Top 100 report reinforces the importance of the administration's recent initiative to ensure federal agencies only get credit for contracts awarded to legitimate small businesses. The 14 month 'scrub' of 11 million contract actions in FY 2005 and 2006 was completed in June 2007. The review removed $4.6 billion in incorrectly coded contracts from the small business procurement database. Federal agencies will have to make up the difference by awarding new contracts to small businesses in order to meet their contracting targets.
Four of the Top 100 firms were affected by miscodings. Three of them were incorrectly identified as "other than small," even though the companies are legitimate small businesses. One company was miscoded as a small business in 2006, even though it was not small.
Recent federal government regulatory changes have significantly increased small business contracting opportunities. Prior to 2007, once a small business contract was awarded, it counted towards a federal agency's contracting goals for the life of the contract - as much as 20 years - even if the firm was acquired by a major corporation. Under the new rules, contracts stop counting towards small business goals once a firm is acquired. Small businesses that grow larger on their own can continue to be counted as small for up to five years, or they may have to 'recertify' their size earlier when a federal agency exercises a contract option.
Under the new rules, twenty-six of the companies on the FY 2006 Top 100 report are now identified as "other than small" in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Sixteen companies outgrew their size standard. Ten companies were acquired by, or merged with, other firms. The new federal regulations create opportunities for other small businesses, because contracts awarded to these firms will no longer count towards agencies' contracting goals.
The Top 100 report shows that 99 of the 100 companies on the list were in fact properly classified as small businesses when they originally won their contracts. It reflects the progress the agencies have made in their review of miscoded contracts from 2005 to 2006. But with 5.5 million contract actions processed each year, there are certain to be additional errors. SBA is working with other agencies to continually review and improve the data.
The Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) has required federal agencies to submit plans by the end of 2007 for maintaining the integrity of data in the contract reporting system. The SBA is working with GSA to provide new tools so the public can better access CCR and help identify errors.

Note: In order to track purchases made by small businesses using the Government-wide purchase cards, GSA established generic DUNS numbers. Purchase cards are normally used for orders below $3,000 and with vendors who do not do business with the Federal government on a regular basis. These DUNS codes account for purchase card orders placed with all small businesses. The two DUNS codes and "dummy" names are: 1367212010000 and 7902386380000, (Small Business Consolidated Reporting and Domestic Contractor), totaling $ $1,044,233,321.14.
* Dyncorp's contract was not a small-business set-aside. It was awarded under full and open competition. There is no indication that Dyncorp represented itself as a small business. The contract, for computer system design services, was apparently miscoded as small when it was first recorded in 2002. The error has been corrected.
