Survey and Analysis of Small Business and Minority Business Enterprise Participation in Solar Energy Procurement Activity

摘要

The primary findings of this survey indicate that $27.0 million of a total $255.4 million Solar Energy outlay, for FY 77, was allocated to Small Business in the form of prime contracts. Additionally, $148.4 thousand was allocated to Minority Business Enterprise in the form of prime contracts. Another $13.3 million was subcontracted to Small Business/Minority Business Enterprise (SB/MBE) by prime contractors during this period. This represents a total of $40.3 million Solar Energy dollars contracted and subcontracted to SB/MBEs or 15.8% of the $255.4 million Solar Energy outlay during Fiscal Year 1977. The $40.3 million represents an increase of 73% compared to FY 76 (including TQ).nFigure 1-1 breaks down the total $255.4 million Solar Energy outlay into recipient prime contractor categories.
