What it does

The Protecting Small Business Competitions Act of 2025 would amend the Small Business Act to codify the "Rule of Two," requiring that federal contracts for goods or services above the simplified acquisition threshold be reserved for small businesses when contracting officers reasonably expect to receive offers from at least two responsible small business concerns and award the contract at a fair market price. This change would affect federal procurement processes by formalizing a preference for small business competition in applicable contracts. The bill aims to strengthen small business access to federal contracting opportunities by ensuring competition among small businesses when feasible.
