It takes 1,200 small businesses to build a Sig Sauer weapon. It took over 3,000 to support the Artemis II mission.
Small manufacturers are the indisputable backbone of America’s industrial base. Through the Smaller War Plants Commission, SBA and @DeptofWar are proud to support them by identifying supply chain gaps, cutting burdensome regulations, and surging capital to help grow the Arsenal of Freedom.

Another bad day to be a fraudster under @POTUS.
FRAUD UPDATE: Today, SBA is referring nearly 700 noncompliant 8(a) firms to GSA for review to evaluate potential fraud in their government contracting history.
This action comes as part of SBA’s broader effort to restore accountability to the 8(a) Program for “socially and economically disadvantaged” small businesses.
