WOSB Certification and Opportunity Expansion Act

This bill removes self-certified women-owned small businesses (WOSBs) from federal contracting goals that count toward government-wide and agency targets for women-owned business participation. Only WOSBs with official certification through the Small Business Administration (SBA) will count toward these goals, though businesses that self-certified before the law took effect may still count temporarily while awaiting SBA review. The SBA must issue implementing rules within one year and provide quarterly reports to Congress on certification applications, processing timelines, and administrative costs. This affects how federal agencies track women-owned business participation in contracts and impacts women-owned businesses seeking formal SBA certification.
