Bill overview
This bill temporarily halts the Small Business Administration (SBA) from awarding sole-source contracts until it completes a comprehensive audit of its business development program and submits a report to Congress. The audit, previously ordered for June 2025, aims to investigate potential fraud within the 8(a) contracting program, which provides opportunities for small businesses. A limited waiver process allows for sole-source contracts in cases deemed critical for national security, requiring justification and approval from the SBA. This legislation seeks to increase transparency and accountability in the SBA’s contracting practices.
