If it had anything to do with fair, there wouldn't be 30-40 pages of affirmative action, women or minority-owned, disabled vet, etc. victim group status paperwork involved. Price, product (to include security, nationality, location), ability to deliver, etc. should be all that's required to get the best deal for the taxpayers. When I click on a website link "about us" and it says "woman-owned small business," I know right off the bat it's not going to be the best deal for the taxpayer. No one but the gov't. would care about the gender of a company's ownership, and it has nothing to do with price or quality of product.
