Small businesses would find it easier to get defense contracts.
Small businesses and new defense contractors would find it easier to compete for government contracts. This bill would make the Department of Defense consider more types of past work and remove unnecessary hurdles. It aims to increase competition and ensure the government gets good value for its money.
Today, Department of Defense policies might not fully consider commercial or non-government project experience, and some procedural rules can make it hard for small businesses to compete. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Defense would issue new guidance within 1 year to accept a wider range of past work and remove unnecessary barriers for small businesses and new contractors within 2 years, aiming for more competition and better value.
