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.

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.
