Opportunities (www.dodbu sopps.com) has information on regulations entrepreneurs will need to be aware of. The SBA’s Website (www.sba.gov/ GC/indexcontacts-sbsd.html) offers a state-by-state list of first-tier firms looking for subcontractors and their contact numbers. Entrepreneurs who think they may have been shut out of contracts due to bundling practices can alert the SBA at www.sba.gov/GC/indexprograms bundlingreport.html.
Wynn also suggests making a lot of noise to policy makers who may not be aware of the adverse impact bundling has on small businesses and the economy. “Make your individual representatives and senators aware. If you write to a procurement agency manager, copy your representative,” he says. “It’s not considered a big policy issue. We have to make it one if we want to get some results.”
