Description: This thesis examines the effect of recent government acquisition reform initiatives on the small business establishment. Specifically, this thesis investigates the consequences of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) of 1994 and the use of the government purchase card on government contracting using simplified acquisition procedures to the small business concern.
