HR-6740 : Still Just a Bill
Warning: The content below was generated with AI.
The Defense Small Business Affiliate Consideration Act of 2023, also known as H.R. 6740, addresses how the Department of Defense (DoD) evaluates small businesses bidding on contracts. The bill mandates that by July 1, 2024, the Secretary of Defense must revise the Defense Federal Acquisition Supplement to include consideration of the past performance of affiliate companies when evaluating bids from small business concerns. This means that the DoD will now take into account the track record of companies related to the small business bidding for the contract, if relevant, during the evaluation and selection process.
