Small Business Support: New Public Procurement Rules

This act changes how federal agencies are evaluated on their engagement with small businesses.

This aims to increase opportunities for new, smaller enterprises to secure government work.
Key points
Federal agencies must report the number of new small businesses awarded government contracts.
The act aims to facilitate access to public procurement for new small businesses, including those owned by specific groups.
No additional funds are authorized for the implementation of these changes.
