OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND

BUDGET

Office of Federal Procurement Policy

Small Disadvantaged and WomenOwned Businesses

AGENCY: Executive Office of the

President, Office of Management and

Budget (OMB), Office of Federal

Procurement Policy (OFPP).

ACTION: OFPP is requesting comments

on its plans to comply with the review

requirements of small disadvantaged

and women-owned businesses in

accordance with the Federal Acquisition

Streamlining Act of 1994.

BACKGROUND: The Federal Acquisition

Streamlining Act of 1994, Public Law

103–355, provides, in section 7107, that

the Administrator for Federal

Procurement Policy shall conduct a

comprehensive review of Federal laws,

in effect on November 1, 1994, to

identify and catalogue all of the

provisions in such laws that define (or

describe for definitional purposes) the

following small business concerns: (1)

Concerns owned and controlled by

socially and economically

disadvantaged individuals; (2) minorityowned concerns; (3) concerns owned

and controlled by women; and, (4)

woman-owned concerns. (In this notice,

these 4 categories will also be referred

to as disadvantaged and women-owned

businesses.) The definitions of concern

are those which authorize the

participation of such small business

concerns as prime contractors or

subcontractors in (1) contracts awarded

directly by the Federal Government or

subcontracts awarded under such

contracts, and (2) contracts and

subcontracts funded, in whole or in

part, by Federal financial assistance

under grants, cooperative agreements, or

other forms of Federal assistance.

In conducting this review, the

Administrator shall provide for the

participation in the review by

representatives of (1) the Small Business

Administration (SBA) (including the

Office of the Chief Counsel for

Advocacy); (2) the Minority Business

Development Agency (MBDA) of the

Department of Commerce; (3) the

Department of Transportation (DOT); (4)

the Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA); and (5) such other executive

departments and agencies as the

Administrator considers appropriate.

The Administrator must also consult

with representatives of organizations

representing (1) minority-owned

business enterprises; (2) women-owned

business enterprises; and (3) other

organizations that the Administrator

considers appropriate.

On the basis of the results of the

review, the Administrator is to develop

(1) uniform definitions for

disadvantaged and women-owned

business concerns; (2) uniform agency

certification standards and procedures

for (A) determinations of whether a

small business concern qualifies as a

disadvantaged or women-owned

business concern under an applicable

standard for purposes of the types of

contracts and subcontracts referred to

above, and (B) reciprocal recognition by

an agency of a decision of another

agency regarding whether a small

business concern qualifies as a

disadvantaged or women-owned

business concern; and (3) such other

related recommendations as the

Administrator determines appropriate,

consistent with the review results.

Section 7107 requires the

Administrator, not later than 60 days

after the date of the enactment of the

Act, to publish in the Federal Register

a notice which (1) lists the provisions of

law identified in the review carried out

during the first 60 days; (2) describes

the matters to be developed on the basis

of the results of the review; (3) solicits

public comment regarding the matters

described in the notice for a period of

not less than 60 days; and (4) addresses

such other matters as the Administrator

considers appropriate in order to ensure

the comprehensiveness of the review.

Finally, section 7107 requires that not

later than May 1, 1966, the

Administrator for Federal Procurement

Policy shall submit to the Committees

on Small Business of the Senate and the

House of Representatives a report on the

results of the review. The report shall

include a discussion of the results of the

review, a description of the

consultations conducted and public

comments received, and the

Administrator’s recommendations.

PERFORMANCE OF REVIEW: In response to

this direction, the Administrator for

Federal Procurement Policy, through the

Office of Federal Procurement Policy

(OFPP), has conducted a review of the
