For the first time in nearly a decade, the government earned an ‘A’ for meeting its small business contracting goals. That’s 23 percent of contracting dollars across the government. NASA got the equivalent of an ‘A+’. Nearly 30 percent of its contracts went to small and disadvantaged businesses. How did they do it? Glenn Delgado is associate administrator of NASA’s Office of Small Business Programs. He told Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive that the commitment starts at the top.
