HR 818, the SPUR Act, would add a new requirement to the existing agency "scorecard" system for small business contracting. Agencies would have to report how many new small businesses—those that never before won a federal contract—received contracts, broken down by industry, and compare that number to the prior year. The bill also formally defines "new small business entrant" and "scorecard" under the law.
Federal agencies would face new reporting duties, and small business owners seeking their first government contract would be directly affected. Policymakers and watchdog groups tracking fairness in small business contracting would also have a stake in the data.
The added reporting could reveal whether new companies are actually gaining access to federal contracts or whether the same established firms continue to dominate the work.
