(Washington Business Journal) — Beginning early next year, federal agencies will begin setting aside contracts for women-owned businesses in industries where they have been under-represented in government contracting.
This historic event will occur more than 10 years after Congress directed the Small Business Administration to establish this program. The program was authorized in the waning days of President Bill Clinton’s administration, subjected to numerous delays during President George W. Bush’s administration, and now will finally be implemented by President Barack Obama’s administration.
