INDUSTRY NEWS Federal Government awards record-breaking $132.9 Billion to small businesses In other SBA news, the Administration announced in August that the federal government exceeded its small business federal contracting goal, awarding 26.50 percent or $132.9 billion in federal contract dollars to small businesses. That amount is more than a $12 billion increase from the previous fiscal year. Additionally, the Fiscal Year 2019 Small Business Federal Procurement Scorecard marks the second time in Scorecard history that the women-owned small business contracting goal of 5% has been met*. The federal government also added a record-breaking one million jobs to the American economy with $132.9 billion in prime contract dollars awarded to small businesses and $90.7 billion in subcontracts awarded. Overall, the federal government earned an “A” on this year’s government-wide Scorecard, according to a statement. “I’m thrilled to report that the federal government exceeded its set goals and awarded a significant $132 billion to small businesses in FY19,” said SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza. “There is good news for women-owned small businesses too. For the second time in the history of the Scorecard, the federal government has met the women’s contracting goal. For the seventh year in a row, the federal government has also exceeded the contracting goal set for service-disabled veterans. The federal prime and subcontracts awarded to small businesses in FY19 equate to more than one million jobs created. Every contract that gets in the hands of a small business is a winwin for our nation, entrepreneurs and their employees, and the communities they support. This is especially important now, as our economy recovers from the pandemic-related setbacks.” FY2019 Small Business Federal Procurement Scorecard: The individual agency scorecards released today by the SBA, as well as a detailed explanation of the methodology, is available online. • In FY19, the federal government exceeded the service-disabled veteran-owned small business and small disadvantaged business goals and the prime contract dollar awards in all small business categories increased from previous years. • The federal government also exceeded its subcontract goals for awards to small businesses and women-owned small businesses and awarded more than $90 billion in subcontracts to all small businesses. *The prime contract goal achievements by dollars and percentages for all categories are as follows: 20% OFF WITH CODE ADN20 PERMANENT PROTECTION • DEEP G 800-437-9893 16 | AUTO DETAILING NEWS | VOL. 5, NO. 3 • FALL 2020
Dirty cars don’t get you a second date And, in case you need another marketing tool, how about the fact that a dirty car is a major turnoff during the early stages of a relationship. According to an April Fox News report, when it comes to relationships, seven in 10 believe having a dirty car is a turnoff, according to new research. A poll of 2,000 American drivers discovered that 51 percent would go so far as to end a first date early if their date showed up in a dirty car, the story said. “In fact, having a messy car is such a massive turn-off that 23 percent have even ended a relationship with someone because of their filthy vehicle.” The study, conducted by OnePoll in conjunction with Meguiar’s, also found that 68% of those with messy cars are completely embarrassed to have people in their car, given its filth. Interestingly, 45% said containing the mess in their cars is overwhelming. HERE ARE SOME OF THE OTHER FINDINGS: • 24% said they avoid cleaning their cars because they know it’ll just get messy again shortly thereafter. • 41% don’t think it’s all that important to have a tidy car while a further one in five don’t even know where to begin when it comes to cleaning their cars. • 24% said they would much rather clean their toilet than have to tidy up their car. • 62% of those surveyed would rather have a dirty car than a dirty home. • 28% said they have empty bottles taking up way too much space in their cars. • 78% said a clean car makes them feel like they have their life more together. When asked about the junk found in people’s cars, three in 10 revealed their cars are filled with crumbs while a further and three in five respondents said their cars are filled with stuff they need to pursue their passions. A majority of Americans believe their entire life would be better off if they had tidier vehicles, the story stated. TOP 5 THINGS AMERICANS WOULD RATHER CLEAN THAN THEIR CARS: 1. Dishes 36% 2.
