The Federal Cotton Hammer Threat

I laughed when I saw the attached article/link "SBA plans to keep pressure on agencies"  @ http://www.fcw.com/online/news/150722-1.html, as there never has been and never will be a penalty for an agency for failing to meet their annual 23% subcontracting goal for small business concerns.

Likewise, there is no reward for achieving the 23% goal.  As an aggregate with a lot of fuzzy math, each year the feds report barely meeting (22.85%) or slightly exceeding the goal (23.15%), followed by much debate amongst the politicians.
