HR 6820 United States House · 118th Congress

Small Business Contracting Fairness Act

The Small Business Contracting Fairness Act clarifies the definition of a small business concern within the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act by explicitly referencing the Small Business Act. This change directly affects government contracting programs that use these definitions to determine eligibility for set-aside contracts and other benefits. The bill removes ambiguity by aligning the terminology used in the Infrastructure law with the established definition in the Small Business Act. No new funding or program changes are introduced; the legislation only standardizes existing language to ensure consistent application across federal contracting rules.
