Summary

Ensuring small businesses are fully considered for simplified acquisition contracts is the bill's main goal. It would require the Department of Defense to study contracts at or below the simplified acquisition threshold and report the results.

Show full summary
  • Small businesses: The report would show the share and dollar amount of simplified-acquisition contracts awarded to small firms over a five-year period and identify contract types and services not awarded to small firms.
  • Department of Defense: The Office of Small Business Programs would conduct the review and must deliver a report within 180 days. The study would explain why some contracts were not set aside and highlight trends of missed set-asides.
  • Policymakers and contracting officials: The report would include recommendations for changes to statute, regulation, policy, or guidance to ensure set-aside requirements are fully applied.
