The Small Business Administration (SBA) recently published a proposed rule (https://bit.ly/2RQhpwb) that would merge its mentor-protégé programs and amend many of its rules governing the 8(a) Business Development program.

Our Firm’s Managing Partner, Pamela Mazza, recently explained the rule’s significant implications for the government contracting community. In particular, SBA’s proposed rule would make a number of changes to the 8(a) program and regulations applicable to tribally-owned 8(a) businesses.
