Transparency and Predictability in Small Business Opportunities Act

What this bill does

  • The SBA must create rules requiring agencies to explain why they cancelled federal contract bids open to small businesses.
  • Small business owners who bid on cancelled contracts gain access to information about reissuance plans and referrals to similar opportunities.
  • Agencies must disclose cancellation justifications, reissuance timelines, and plans to incorporate requirements into other contracts.
