Not New News: Large Businesses Still Taking Billions In Small Business Contracts
At least 16 companies with more than $1 billion in annual revenues were among the top 100 small business contractors in 2008, according to Eagle Eye, a Virginia research firm that tracks federal spending. Giant defense contractors Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics (both Fortune 500 companies) each earned more than $120 million in small business contract payments last year.
"More than likely, having correct data would drop the numbers [of the SBA small business goals]," says Robert Burton, a former senior official at the Office of Federal Procurement Policy. "And there's no question that the government would come under intense scrutiny to meet its target."
