In this episode, we explores the 75-year history of the Small Business Administration, tracing its origins from World War II defense advocacy to its
modern role in managing government-wide contracting goals. The discussion also covers essential topics for practitioners, including the "Rule of Two,"
recent legal shifts in the 8(a) program, and upcoming acquisition reforms in the FY26 NDAA.
