Common Repository for Small Businesses Act

This bill requires the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy to establish a centralized repository of supplier information within 90 days of enactment. This repository will contain data commonly needed for the initial vetting of contractors applying to supply products or services to the Department of Defense, aiming to facilitate and streamline the qualification process. The Assistant Secretary must develop this repository in coordination with the Department's Office of Small Business Programs , integrating it with existing efforts related to market research, supply chain resiliency, cybersecurity, and secure cloud tools for small manufacturers and entities providing procurement technical assistance. Additionally, the bill permits the formation of public-private partnerships or cooperative agreements to establish the repository. These partnerships are authorized if they would reduce duplicative efforts, decrease the time potential suppliers spend providing information, or streamline and reduce the cost for prime contractors qualifying suppliers for DoD contracts.
