Bill overview
The WOSB Certification and Opportunity Expansion Act aims to improve contracting opportunities for women-owned small businesses with the federal government. Specifically, it clarifies that only businesses officially certified by a federal agency, state government, or a recognized national certifying entity can be counted towards federal agencies’ goals for these businesses. The bill also establishes a process for considering self-certified businesses pending official certification, and requires the Small Business Administration to provide regular briefings to Congress on the implementation of these changes.
