S 4417 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Service-Disabled Veteran Opportunities in Small Business Act

This bill requires federal agencies that miss their annual goals for awarding contracts to small businesses owned by service-disabled veterans to provide staff training on increasing such contracts. It mandates the Small Business Administration to issue guidance within 180 days and submit annual reports to Congress listing agencies that failed to meet targets, detailing training efforts and content. The law directly affects federal agencies responsible for contracting and aims to improve contracting opportunities for small businesses owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans. Key mechanisms include mandatory training for agency employees, standardized guidance, and transparency through annual reporting. The bill focuses on operational changes to boost contracting outcomes without altering existing goals or funding.
