GAO Explores Options to Increase Opportunities for Mid-sized Businesses  –  On September 20, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) published a report on mid-sized businesses, their performance in the Federal market and options to increase opportunities for new mid-sized businesses that have outgrown their small business size status.  The report was provided to the House Small Business Committee following concerns expressed to the Committee that small businesses that outgrew their status often experienced fewer Federal contract opportunities as a result.
