The Small Business Administration (SBA) recently released a proposed rule to modify the 8(a) Business Development program for small contractors. The goal is to implement updates from past National Defense Authorization Act legislation and modify subcontracting, protests, and set aside programs. Comments will be accepted on the proposed change until November 8. The proposed changes are in response to the White House and Congress focusing on improving equity in the federal procurement process.
