This bill aims to enhance federal contracting opportunities for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) by amending the Small Business Act. It mandates that the Small Business Administration (SBA), in consultation with the Office of Veterans Business Development, provide specialized training to federal agency employees at agencies that have not met their SDVOSB contracting goals, focusing on strategies to increase these awards. Furthermore, the bill requires the SBA to issue comprehensive guidance and best practices within 180 days to assist federal agencies in achieving their contracting targets. To ensure accountability, the Administration must submit an annual report to Congress detailing non-compliant agencies, the number of trainings provided, and an overview of the training content.
