More employee-owned businesses could get contracts with the Department of Defense.
The Department of Defense has a program to encourage giving contracts to businesses owned by their employees. Right now, only businesses 100% owned by employees can join. This bill would let businesses that are at least 30% employee-owned take part, opening up more opportunities.
Today, the Department of Defense's pilot program for contracts only includes businesses that are 100% employee-owned. If this bill becomes law, the program would include businesses that are at least 30% employee-owned, making more companies eligible.
