Classifications like small business, 8a or HUBZone are based upon when the proposal was submitted / part of the award information.  This status has no bearing on past awards (once award is made, it stays associated with the socio-economic status).  So the award should be reported as an 8a award even though the company may no longer be an 8a.  \r\n\r\nIt's actually a very interesting story to see how many companies that have graduated from 8a still benefit from that 8a through 8a extension contracts that circumvent the 8a statutory limits (like 8a STARS that effectively grants 8a's another 5 years of 8a status beyond the 8 or so years they get while in the 8a program).  Whatever reporting is done must be able to show status at a point in time, IMHO.\r\n\r\nSimilarly, companies move addresses - especially around DC it's easy to slip between DC, MD and VA. So do government agencies for that matter.  Analyzing impacts of moves, labor force, contract awards and things like state infrastructure spend to support an agency move may be an interesting story."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/18F/intercessor/issues/comments/112162639","html_url":"https://github.com/18F/intercessor/issues/74#issuecomment-112162639","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/18F/intercessor/issues/74","id":112162639,"user":{"login":"bsweger","id":540544,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/540544?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/bsweger","html_url":"https://github.com/bsweger","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bsweger/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bsweger/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bsweger/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bsweger/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bsweger/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bsweger/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bsweger/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bsweger/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bsweger/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-06-15T18:30:05Z","updated_at":"2015-06-15T18:30:05Z","body":"@HerschelC Thanks for answering this question.
