Bill > HR787

This bill aims to improve the clarity and accessibility of government contract notices for small businesses by requiring federal agencies to write "covered notices" in plain, easy-to-understand language. Specifically, the bill mandates that these notices be clear, concise, well-organized, and written in a way that small business owners can easily comprehend their intent. The notices must also include key words that help businesses quickly identify and understand contract opportunities when searching the single government-wide point of entry for contract information. Within 90 days of the act's enactment, the Small Business Administration must issue rules to implement these requirements. A "covered notice" is defined as any notice about small business concerns published on the government's central contract website. The bill emphasizes improving communication without requesting additional funding, meaning agencies must implement these changes within their existing budgets. The goal is to make government contracting more accessible and transparent for small businesses by removing complex bureaucratic language and making important information more readily understandable.
