## 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. - 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.
