| H.R. 865, the Service-Disabled Veteran Opportunities in Small Business Act, aims to provide increased support for service-disabled veteran entrepreneurs by mandating specialized training for federal contract managers who have not met established contract goals for these veteran-owned small businesses. This training program seeks to enhance the award of federal contracts to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, thereby guaranteeing more equitable access to the contracting market. Service-disabled veterans have sacrificed for our country, and H.R. 865 would help ensure they receive equal, competitive opportunities to succeed in the federal contracting market. We support H.R. 865 in accordance with DAV Resolution No. 100, which calls for increasing the number of contract awards to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Please contact your representative today and urge them to cosponsor and vote in favor of this important legislation. Thank you for participating in DAV’s Commander’s Action Network (DAV CAN). |
