Streamlining Small Business Contracts Act of 2026

Sponsored By: Representative Cisneros, Gilbert Ray [D-CA-31]

Introduced

Summary

Would raise the sole-source contracting threshold for small businesses to $10 million. This would expand the range of federal contracts that agencies can award to eligible small firms without full competitive procedures under several parts of the Small Business Act.

Show full summary
  • Small businesses: More small firms could receive noncompetitive sole-source awards worth up to $10 million, increasing direct contract opportunities for some concerns.
  • Federal agencies: Agencies could use sole-source authority for a broader set of procurements under the enumerated Small Business Act sections, which may speed some awards and simplify procurement for those contracts.
