The Shrinking Small Business Landscape: FAR Reform and a Consolidating Federal Market

In this episode of Beyond the FAR, host Jessica Tillipman speaks with Sam Le, former SBA Director of Policy, Planning, and Liaison, to examine the state of U.S. federal small business contracting amid unprecedented regulatory change. Together, they unpack the FAR overhaul, the legality and implications of the Model Deviations, the shifting understanding of small business success metrics, and the expanding pressure created by consolidation under GSA. Lee offers historical context, policy insights, and a candid assessment of how these changes may affect competition, compliance, and the overall health of the small business industrial base.  Follow Sam Le on his substack: https://www.govconintelligence.com/
