Recently Supported Legislation

  • S. 2720 - Accountability and Clarity in Contracts to Engage Small Suppliers and Small Businesses Act: A package of small business contracting changes, including legislation aimed at placing limits on federal agency credit for meeting small business contracting goals. The bill limits the “double-counting” exercise by limiting an agency’s ability to count the total contract award value two times only. More information on this legislation in a section-by-section here.

  • H.R. 4671 - Corrective Action Report Oversight and Accountability Act: Strengthens corrective actions taken by agencies when they fail to meet their small business goals. Federal agencies have annual goals for awarding contracts to small businesses, reported on the SBA’s annual Small Business Procurement Scorecard. The bill requires federal agencies that fail to meet an annual small business contracting goal to submit a “corrective action report” to the SBA outlining the reasons why it did not meet the goal and proposing a “corrective action plan.” This bill standardizes the information required in these reports and requires agencies to provide an analysis of the efficacy of previously proposed practices.
  • S. 583 - PRICE Act: Encourages interagency collaboration to utilize small business contractors. Council Executive Director Michelle Burnett quoted in Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee press release. Signed into law on February 22, 2022

  • H.R. 3239: To update Title 41 of the U.S. Code, which governs federal contracting and procurement, to reflect changes to the law since it was originally codified in 2011 and to make other clarifying and technical changes.
