This 7(j)M-TAS is specifically tailored to enhance SBAуs efforts to advocate for small business concerns in the federal procurement marketplace while at the same time seeking to strengthen small businesses, and specifically, 8(a) and other 7(j) eligible firms, and help them expand by increasing opportunities for them to participate in the federal procurement arena.

Legacy services provided have been consistent with the Section 7(j)(l) non-exclusive list of categories eligible for funding, including: accounting, production and engineering; international trade; feasibility studies/market analyses/advertising; government contracting assistance, specialized services, financial counseling, business plan assistance, construction management; management training; loan packaging, computer programming services, data processing services, service contracts, seminars and workshops; and assistance in obtaining and increasing bonding levels.
