Support for Growing Construction and Engineering Businesses

This act establishes a pilot program to help small construction and engineering firms that have grown too large to still be considered small. It allows them to continue qualifying as small for certain government contracts during a transitional period, easing their move into the broader market and increasing competition.
Key points
Construction and engineering firms exceeding small business size limits can still qualify for certain small business government contracts for up to 7 years.
The program aims to help these businesses transition smoothly into the unrestricted market, boosting their growth and participation in larger projects.
Participants must meet specific targets for non-small business sales and adhere to revenue caps to remain in the program.
