Plain Language in Contracting Act

HR 787, the Plain Language in Contracting Act, requires federal agencies to write contracting notices for small businesses in clear, concise language that follows existing federal plain language guidelines. It mandates that these notices include key words to help small businesses easily identify and understand opportunities on the government's single point of entry for contracts (as defined in 41 U.S.C. § 1708). The Small Business Administration must issue implementing rules within 90 days of the bill's enactment. This law directly affects small businesses seeking government contracts and federal agencies publishing contracting notices, aiming to make the process more accessible.
