Following the passage of PL95-507 in October, 1978 there has been continued controversy among the lawmakers, DOD, SBA, and industry as to the overall support of the program. Especially noteworthy is the effect and utilization of the subcontracting plans required by law. This study narrows the scope of the problem to the implementation of the law through the use of the current Air Force Guidelines. The objectives are to validate the guidelines and analyze any weaknesses discovered. The researchers conclude that the current guidelines do effectively implement the law. However, it is recommended that better communication be established between contracting officials and SBA and a clarification of ambiguous and redundant wording in the guidelines be made. Additionally, both reporting and records requirements need to be standardized and new policy statements need to be incorporated into the guidelines. Specifically, guidelines 6, 7, 8, 9, 16 and 23 need to be rewritten/expanded for ease of user interpretation and litigation.
