Effectiveness of the Mandatory Minority Business Set-Aside Contracting Goals
Section 221 of Public Law 95-507 mandates that the head of each federal agency, after consultation with the Small Business Administration, establish realistic goals for each fiscal year for the award of agency contracts to socioeconomically disadvantaged businesses. This requirement currently represents one of approximately 50 separate federal socioeconomic programs that utilize the federal contracting process as the principal implementing mechanism. Through multiple regression analysis this article concludes that the mandatory goal-setting procedure has had no statistically significant positive effect in increasing federal contract dollars to minority businesses.
