Plain-English Summary

The legislation would require federal agencies to set aside a portion of government contracts for small businesses owned by women, minorities, and veterans, giving these entrepreneurs a better chance to compete for federal work. It aims to increase diversity in federal contracting and help disadvantaged business owners grow by guaranteeing them access to a share of the billions of dollars the government spends on goods and services each year. The bill would affect federal agencies, small business owners, and potentially the prices and quality of goods and services the government purchases.
