The WOSB Integrity Act of 2024
This bill clarifies that women-owned small businesses (WOSBs) must comply with size standards to compete for certain government contracts under the Small Business Act. It ensures businesses certified as WOSBs before the law's enactment can continue competing until they notify authorities they no longer qualify or are determined to exceed size limits. The bill prevents disqualification of existing certified businesses during a transition period and specifies that no new formal size determinations are required for WOSB certification applications. It amends Section 8(m)(2)(E) of the Small Business Act to explicitly require size standard compliance for WOSB eligibility.
