"Over the past few years, the Investigations Division has noted several instances of a particular fraudulent practice: companies that SBA, after sustaining protests against them, had prohibited from representing themselves as small businesses, under a particular SIC code, were continuing to falsely certify themselves as eligible for small business set-aside contracts."

"The Inspector General issued a program vulnerability memo suggesting…that the agency periodically generate a list of companies found ineligible to self-certify as small for contracts…and circulate it to all Federal agencies of their use."
