Bill > S3896

This bill, titled the Veterans Affairs Opportunity for Small Businesses Act of 2026, modifies how the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) prioritizes contracts awarded to small businesses. Specifically, it amends Section 8127(h) of title 38 of the United States Code by removing an existing preference category and renumbering the subsequent category. The key change is the addition of language to clarify that these preferences apply to small businesses established under the Small Business Act, a federal law that supports and protects the interests of small businesses. This aims to streamline and clarify the VA's procurement process for small businesses, ensuring they are properly recognized and supported when competing for VA contracts.
