Abstract
This thesis examines the Small Business Administration
(SBA) program to use the authority granted by section 6(a) of
the 1956 Amendment to the Small Business Act to aid socially
or economically disadvantaged persons, and its impact on the
Navy shore facilities construction and maintenance procurement
system. The origin of the SBA's 6(a) authority and the consistency
of its present use with the intent of Congress in
granting that authority is examined including court challenges
to that use. The current operational procedures followed by
the SBA and the Navy in obtaining and providing support for
the program are described and evaluated. A proposed method
for evaluation of the Navy's support to the 6(a) program, and
in particular the support provided by its shore facilities
construction and maintenance manager, the Naval Facilities
Engineering Command, is introduced Also, recommendations for
improvement in present operational procedures are presented
and a possible alternative to the 8(a) program is discussed.
