Plain-English summary
Amends the Small Business Act regarding small business participation in Federal procurement activities to require any procuring agency to provide a copy of the proposed procurement to the Small Business Administration (SBA) accompanied by an explanatory statement if it believes that small business participation is unlikely due to the nature of the project. Directs the SBA to provide the procuring agency with recommendations if the SBA believes alternatives exist which would increase small business prime contracting opportunities.
