Eliminating Local Subcontracting Rules for Small Business Construction Contracts.

This bill removes a requirement forcing small businesses with federal construction contracts to hire subcontractors exclusively from the same county or state where the work is performed. The change grants small businesses greater flexibility in selecting partners, potentially leading to lower project costs and increased competition. This could result in more efficient use of taxpayer money on public construction projects.
Key points
Small businesses holding government construction contracts can now hire subcontractors from outside the state or county of performance.
The goal is to boost competition and efficiency in federal construction projects by removing geographical restrictions.
