<h1> House OKs bills affecting veteran contracting 㰀⼀栀㸀
㰀℀ⴀⴀ㰀栀㐀㸀
</h4>ⴀⴀ㸀
<p> The House approved two bills related to federal contracting with veterans--one that tightens protections against veteran-owned “pass through” contracts, and another that addresses veteran-owned firms’ role in strategic sourcing.㰀⼀瀀㸀
<p> HR 2749, introduced by Rep. Jack Bergman, R-MI, and HR 2781, by Rep. Neal Dunn, R-FL, both passed the House on July 25.
</p>㰀瀀㸀
<b>HR 2749</b>㰀⼀瀀㸀
<p> Bergman’s bill aims to strengthen restrictions against “improper pass-throughs” by veteran-owned small businesses (VOSBs), including service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs). Improper pass-throughs occur when a small business obtains a contract but subcontracts out too much of the work.㰀⼀瀀㸀
<p> By law, small businesses awarded federal set-aside contracts may subcontract only a limited amount of work. The percentage varies, based on whether the contract is for supplies, services or construction.㰀⼀瀀㸀
<p> HR 2749 targets veterans because the Supreme Court last year interpreted a 2006 law as having set very strong preferences for veterans at the Veterans Affairs Dept., according to a House report on the bill.㰀⼀瀀㸀
<p> “VOSBs and SDVOSBs now receive substantially all VA contracts that are set aside for small business,” the House report said.㰀⼀瀀㸀
<p> Suspected violators would be reported to the VA Inspector General for investigation. 㰀⼀瀀㸀
