Sample Comment:
My name is ____, and my company's name is _____, located in _______. With this letter, I am formally responding to the SBA's proposed rule issued on December 27, and asking you to withdraw it. Women-owned businesses receive only 3.4% of federal procurement contracts, which is well short of the intent of the Public Law 106-554, passed in 2000, which was created to allow federal contracting officers to award up to 5% of all contracts to women-owned businesses. Rather than improve the contracting percentages, the proposed rule is a drastic step backward.
