Ending Discrimination in Government Contracting Act
Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committees on Small Business, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Summary
The bill changes the Small Business Act to eliminate language that gives federal contracts a preference for businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals and women. It removes related set‑aside goals and reporting requirements, leaving only limited preferences for HUBZone and service‑disabled veteran firms. The change would reshape how the government awards contracts and could reduce contracting opportunities for the affected groups.
