To amend the Small Business Act to eliminate certain requirements relating to the award of construction subcontracts within the county or State of performance.

This bill eliminates a requirement that, to the maximum extent practicable, certain construction subcontracts awarded by the Small Business Administration must be awarded within the county or state where the work is to be performed.

Bill 118 hr 2970, also known as the "Small Business Contracting Improvements Act of 2021," aims to make changes to the Small Business Act in order to remove certain restrictions on the awarding of construction subcontracts within a specific county or state.

The bill seeks to eliminate the requirement that construction subcontracts must be awarded to small businesses located within the county or state where the construction project is taking place. This change is intended to increase competition and allow for a more diverse pool of small businesses to bid on and win construction subcontracts.

By removing these restrictions, the bill aims to promote fair competition and ensure that the best qualified small businesses are able to participate in and benefit from federal construction projects. This change is seen as a way to streamline the subcontracting process and make it more efficient for both small businesses and the federal government. Overall, the Small Business Contracting Improvements Act of 2021 seeks to create a more level playing field for small businesses in the construction industry and promote economic growth and job creation.
