Bill > S2510

This bill, known as the "Service-Disabled Veteran Opportunities in Small Business Act," aims to increase contract awards to small businesses owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans by requiring specific training and reporting measures. The bill amends the Small Business Act to mandate that the Small Business Administration (SBA) provide training to federal agency employees who have not met the existing goal for awarding contracts to service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The training will focus on strategies to increase contract awards to these businesses. Additionally, the SBA must issue guidance and best practices within 180 days of the bill's enactment and submit an annual report to Congress detailing which federal agencies failed to meet the contract award goals, the number of training sessions provided to each agency, and an overview of the training content. The goal is to improve opportunities for small businesses owned by veterans who have been disabled during their military service, ensuring they have a fair chance at receiving federal government contracts.
