Montana Businesses Won Nearly $500 Million In Federal Contracts In 2018
Montana small businesses received about half a billion dollars in 2018 through federal contracts. The federal government says it exceeded its small business federal contracting goal nationwide for the sixth year in a row in 2018.
Montana businesses received about $729 million dollars last year, and about 60% of that went to small businesses. That’s according to a U.S. Small Business Administration press release on Wednesday.
Wayne Gardella is the district director of the SBA’s Montana branch, and he says a majority of those contracts go to small businesses through the Department of Transportation, the Forest Service and Malmstrom Air Force Base.
”Montana lives and dies from the government contracting point with those big players,” Gardella said.
