UNITED STATES g-A*g NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 e
\\.....,o8 May 1, 1998 l
CHAIRMAN The Honorable Aida Alvarez, Administrator l
U.S. Small Business Administration Washington, D.C. 20416
Dear Ms. Alvarez:
In accordance with the letter dated October 30,1996, from Mr. Philip Lader, former Administrator of the Small Business Administration, I am pleased to report the Nu;! ear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Fiscal Year 1997 achievements under the Procurement Preference Program. reflects achievements against our goals, in the seven categories of the Procurement Preference Program. Enclosure 2 which has been modified per discussion with Mr. Jim Gamberdella, of your staff, depicts additional information requested for selected categories of small businesses.
As you will note, NRC exceeded its dollar and percentage goals in three categories; 1) prime contract awards to small businesses,2) prime contract awards to disadvantaged businesses, and 3) prime contract awards to women-owned businesses, in the other four categories, NRC exceeded its dollar goal but fell short of its percentage goal. This is due in part to our efforts to gain efficiency by consolidating several small contracts (previously available to 8(a) firms) under a multi-year interagency agreement with the General Services Administration. The lag in subcontracting awards is due in part to the timing of initiating work under the interagency agreement which occurred late in the fiscal year.
We will continue to strive w meet our Procurement Preference Program goals and to provide small, minority, and women-owned businesses maximum opportunity to participate in NRC's procurement activities. We do not anticipate any problems in meeting our goals for Fiscal Year 1998. If you have questions regarding this report, or the Agency's Small Business Program, please contact Ms. Irene P. Little, Director, Office of Small Business and Civil Rights, at (301) 415-7380.
Sincerely, 0
