Nov. 13, 2012 - PRLog -- The Small Environmental Business Action Coalition, Inc. (SEBAC) and PilieroMazza PLLC are pleased to announce the recipient of the Award for Excellence in Awarding Small Business Prime Contracts.  This year’s recipient is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. SEBAC presents the award to recognize a federal agency’s demonstrated commitment to small environmental business through its awarding of small business prime contracts. Ms. Jackie Robinson-Burnette, Chief, Office of Small Business Programs, will accept the award during SEBAC’s Annual Networking Reception and Award Presentation on December 11, 2012.

SEBAC researched procurement data specific to NAICS codes 562910 and 541620 among federal agencies and evaluated the data based on the number and quality of agency procurements and the agency’s overall commitment to small businesses to determine the recipient of the Award for Excellence. This evaluation and award is based on a pre-established set of criteria which includes three key components:

•    The agency’s ability to meet or exceed projected goals for fiscal year;
•    The agency’s quality and quantity of small business awards; and
•    The agency’s progress towards improvement in attaining goals (percentage increase and/or proven improvement)

SEBAC is pleased to present the Award for Excellence to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for its strong support of small environmental businesses as demonstrated by the significant improvement in the award of small business prime contracts within NAICS codes 562910 and 541620.  Within these two NAICS codes, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers increased its small business prime contract awards from 47.5 % in 2010 to 69.4.9% in 2011. In 2011 alone the Army awarded 2,900 small business prime contracts in these two NAICS codes totaling $2,389,821,927.
