Bill overview
The Expanding Contracting Opportunities for Small Businesses Act of 2019 aims to increase the number of federal contracts awarded to small businesses owned by specific groups. It eliminates the practice of including option years in the award price for sole-source contracts, requiring that the base amount and any option years be of similar value. The bill also clarifies and expands the criteria for awarding sole-source contracts to HUBZone, service-disabled veteran, economically disadvantaged women, and socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses, and mandates a GAO study to ensure fair classification of these contracts.
