Veterans Affairs Opportunity for Small Businesses Act of 2026

Sponsored By: Senator Blackburn, Marsha [R-TN]

Introduced

Summary

Anchors VA small-business contracting preferences to the Small Business Act. This bill would amend 38 U.S.C. 8127(h) to reorganize its subparagraphs and insert the phrase 'established under the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631 et seq.)' into the VA procurement priority language. The change reframes the statutory basis for VA small-business preferences and does not add funding, change eligibility beyond that reframing, create phase-ins or sunsets, or impose new penalties or compliance duties.

VA contract rules for small businesses

If enacted, this bill would change how the Department of Veterans Affairs orders small-business preferences in its contracts. It would remove one paragraph, rename another, and insert the phrase "established under the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631 et seq.)" into the rule. This would explicitly tie VA small-business preferences to programs run under the Small Business Act. The bill would not change funding, add new money, or create new eligibility rules beyond this wording.
