Le Small Business Act (SBA) Le droit de l'État fédéral aussi bien que celui des États fédérés réserve une part importante des marchés publics à certaines entreprises caractérisées par leur petite taille ou l'appartenance de leurs propriétaires à des minorités6. Ces entreprises ont aussi une autre caractéristique : elles sont américaines. En effet, le Federal Acqusition Regulation définit l'entreprise (concern) au sens du SBA de la manière suivante : « "Concern" means any business entity organized for profit (even if its ownership is in the hands of a nonprofit entity) with a place of business located in the United States or its outlying areas and that makes a significant contribution to the U.S. economy through payment of taxes and/or use of American products, material and/or labor, etc. » (art. 19.001). En 1953 a été créée la Small Business Administration et adopté le Small Business Act. 6.
