SBA Nebraska staff will be heading to Scottsbluff tomorrow to celebrate Michael Moravec, PT, DPT, OCS, owner of Bluffs Physical Therapy as Nebraska Small Business Person of the Year! Michael traveled to Washington D.C. to accept his award and is pictured here with Administrator Guzman and Jen Kim, Associate Administrator, Office of Field Operations. In 2018, Michael worked with U.S. Small Business Administration resource partner, Scottsbluff Nebraska Business Development Center (NBDC), to help him form a business entity with a business plan and financial projections. Michael obtained funding and opened a small rental space with one employee. Quickly growing in clients and staff, Michael contacted the NBDC again in 2019 to assist with financial projections to construct a larger building. The 2020 COVID pandemic necessitated social distancing restrictions, reducing staff to one. As restrictions were lifted, Michael returned his employees one at a time. Fortunately, Michael's construction on the new building was nearing completion. Michael officially moved his company to a larger building, which is currently staffed with 24 employees. Michael serves on multiple community boards, volunteers, and donates yearly to various organizations, schools, and other programs. CONGRATULATIONS, MICHAEL!!!

Breaking records! In FY23, 28.4% of federal contract dollars were awarded to small businesses, a $178.6 billion investment in the small business economy – an increase of $15.7 billion from the previous fiscal year. This supports more than one million good-paying jobs in manufacturing, construction, research and development, technology, defense, and other vital industries. The federal procurement Scorecard measures how well federal agencies meet their small business contracting goals each year. Ten federal agencies received A+ grades, and an additional 12 agencies received an A grade. The federal government, overall, earned an A on this year’s Scorecard. ➡️ View the Scorecard: https://lnkd.in/e8Dv_e6i ➡️ Get started with contracting: https://lnkd.in/dWPRkrB #SmallBusinessWeek
