Plain-English Summary

This bill would reorganize and clean up federal contracting laws that are currently scattered throughout the U.S. Code, making them easier to find and understand for government agencies, contractors, and the public. The changes would modernize outdated language and fix inconsistencies in how federal procurement rules are written, without fundamentally changing what those rules require. This affects anyone who does business with the federal government or works in government contracting.
