HR 3830 United States House · 118th Congress

To require the Administrator of the Small Business Administration to expand eligibility for certain contracts, and for other purposes.

This bill expands eligibility for federal government contracts by requiring the Small Business Administration (SBA) to update rules so that small businesses can compete for contracts across all federal agencies - not just those with the Department of Defense. It directly affects small businesses seeking to bid on federal contracts by broadening their access to opportunities. The key mechanism is a requirement for the SBA and federal procurement regulators to create new rules within 180 days of the bill's passage, updating the Federal Acquisition Regulation to reflect this expanded eligibility. This change shifts the scope from limited agency participation to full federal government contracting.
