"Obtaining 8(a) status has proven to be a fruitful route to contract success for minority contractors -- exploring this route could help other minority-owned firms access greater contracting opportunities."

The 8(a) status offers restricted competition for qualified firms. - See more at: http://www.hispanicbusiness.com/2012....fGu7tjJf.dpuf



Why do you think there has been an explosion in Indian/ Asian ownership of gas stations, hotels, convenience stores etc over the last 40 years? Because they have been diligent in their pursuit of the extra opportunity that is afforded minorities in the United States...........that's why.
