Pentagon would review if small businesses get a fair chance at contracts
This bill would require the Pentagon to study how it gives out smaller contracts. It aims to check if small businesses get a fair chance and if rules are followed. The Pentagon would then tell Congress what it found.
Today, the Department of Defense awards contracts, including smaller ones, with rules for small businesses. But there is no required study or report on how well these rules are followed for those smaller contracts. If this bill becomes law, the Pentagon would have to conduct a study. It would then send a detailed report to Congress within 180 days. This report would specifically look at how small businesses are considered for contracts below a certain dollar amount.
