Protecting Small Business Competitions Act of 2026
Refreshed 2 h ago
Introduced 2025-04-09Topic: economy jobs · budgetSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would add a rule to the Small Business Act known as the "Rule of Two." Under it, federal contracts for goods or services expected to be worth more than the simplified acquisition threshold would have to be set aside for small businesses when the contracting officer reasonably expects two conditions to be met. The first is that two or more responsible small businesses will make offers. The second is that the contract can be awarded at a fair market price. Delivery orders and task orders would not be covered by this rule.
