AI Summary
This bill amends Title 38 of the United States Code to provide an exception to certain small business contracting requirements applicable to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) when procuring goods and services covered under the AbilityOne program. The bill allows the VA to procure such products and services from sources designated under Chapter 85 of Title 41, rather than being required to give priority to small businesses owned and controlled by veterans. This exception applies to products and services that were on the AbilityOne procurement list as of December 22, 2006, or are replacements that meet the same requirements. The amendments in this bill apply to contracts entered into on or after the date of enactment.
