SBA contracts sometimes go to huge corporations

An investigation by the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit has "discovered hundreds of millions of dollars set aside for small business contracts, instead go to huge corporations."

"Mining the GSA’s Federal Procurement Data System the investigation revealed at least 24 companies since 2009 either based or with major offices in the Bay Area received at least 299 contracts labeled “small business” totaling $77 million", yet several of those companies do not qualify as a small business.
