To require the Secretary of Defense to report on certain contracts and awards to small business concerns, and for other purposes.
This bill requires the Department of Defense to study how it awards small-value contracts (under $25,000) to ensure small businesses receive their designated share. The study will analyze contract spending patterns, reasons small businesses aren't awarded contracts when required, and trends in non-compliant awards. Within 180 days, the Defense Secretary must submit a report to Congress detailing findings and recommendations for improving small business contract practices.
