Defense Supplier Vetting: New Common Repository for Small Businesses.

This law requires the Department of Defense to establish a central database containing information commonly needed for vetting potential contractors. The goal is to simplify and speed up the qualification process, making it easier for small businesses to secure government contracts. This centralization reduces the need for suppliers to repeatedly submit the same documents to multiple prime contractors, cutting costs and bureaucracy.
