Bill overview
This bill, the Simplifying Subcontracting Act, aims to improve how small businesses are offered subcontracting opportunities by requiring federal agencies and prime contractors to use plain language in their solicitations. Specifically, it mandates that all subcontracting plans include a statement guaranteeing clear communication in plain writing, as defined by the Plain Writing Act of 2010. Furthermore, it establishes a process for addressing instances where a prime contractor fails to comply with this plain language requirement. The bill also directs the Small Business Administration to create specific regulations to ensure these requirements are met.
