## Summary

**Raises sole‑source contract thresholds for Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned Small Businesses** so these firms can win larger direct awards and the bill changes how contract options count toward those thresholds. - Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned Small Businesses would be eligible for higher sole‑source awards, with the relevant thresholds rising from $7 million to $10 million and from $3 million to $8 million, and the statute would remove the parenthetical phrase that affects how options are treated in threshold calculations. - Federal acquisition officials would have to update rules. The Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council and the Secretary of Defense must amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation and the Defense supplemental rules, with the revised thresholds applying to solicitations issued 180 days after enactment. *Would not create new funding or require new appropriations.*
