Five agencies--DOD, Treasury, HHS, Interior, and NASA--together made up over 90 percent of this spending from 2001 to 2005. Executive Order 13170, signed in October 2000, directs agencies to take an aggressive role in ensuring substantial participation in federal advertising contracts by businesses in the Small Business Administration's (SBA) 8(a) and small disadvantaged business (SDB) programs and minority-owned businesses. This report describes (1) strategies DOD, HHS, Treasury, Interior, and NASA used to address Executive Order 13170, and (2) the total obligations, number of contract actions, and percentage of total obligations represented by these actions that each agency awarded to 8(a)s, SDBs, and minority-owned businesses for advertising services. In conducting this study, GAO analyzed agency contracting data and executive order implementation plans and interviewed agency procurement officials. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-877/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-877.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-877/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-877.pdf GAO-07-877 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-877 Other Written Product GAO-07-877; Federal Advertising: Established Programs Were Largely Used to Address Executive Order Directive to Ensure Small and Minority-Owned Business Participation; Advertising Executive orders Federal procurement Federal procurement policy Minority business contracts Minority businesses Small business Small business contracts Small disadvantaged business contractors Program evaluation Financial analysis SBA 8(a) Business Development Program Volume 72 Page 384 72 Stat. 384 Volume 108 Page 3243 108 Stat. 3243 Volume 114 Page 2763 114 Stat. 2763 Public Law 103-355 Public Law 106-554
