This bill requires the Small Business Administration to provide training to federal employees at agencies that have failed to meet congressionally-established goals for awarding contracts to businesses owned by service-disabled veterans. The SBA must also consult with the Office of Veterans Business Development to issue guidance and best practices for increasing such contract awards within 180 days of the bill's enactment. The legislation affects all federal agencies that participate in federal contracting and fall short of their veterans' business contracting goals. Finally, the SBA must report annually to Congress on which agencies missed their targets, how many training sessions were conducted, and what topics were covered in the training. This measure aims to improve opportunities for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses in the federal contracting process.
