Formal goals have been established to help create a more level playing field for small businesses and to ensure each has the opportunity to work with the federal government. According to the Small Business Administration (SBA), federal agencies must set aside: 23% of prime contracts for small businesses 5% of prime and subcontracts for women- owned small businesses 5% of prime contracts and subcontracts for Small Disadvantaged Businesses 3% of prime contracts and subcontracts for HUBZone small businesses 3% of prime and subcontracts for service- disabled veteran-owned small businesses In fiscal 2013, the set-aside rules resulted in $84 billion in prime contracts to small businesses. Small Business Challenges The Federal government awarding so many contracts to small businesses is great news. That said, with these contracts comes additional things to consider including, potentially, unexpected challenges. Costpoint Foundations Includes: Financial Accounting Project Accounting Budgeting Collaboration Time Collection Expense Management Reporting and Business Intelligence Additional Solutions Available: Payroll Procurement Fixed Assets Inventory Management Multi-Company deltek.com 2 Compliance and Audits One of the greatest challenges small businesses face as new prime contractors is a Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) audit. Some audits are conducted after the contract has been awarded; some contracts require a pre-award DCAA audit. More Projects to Manage As you win more work, there are more projects to manage. In order to remain successful and continue to win additional prime contracts, it is critical to have constant insight into and across all projects to ensure contracts are being performed on time and within budget.
