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

Under the Small Business Administration's 8(a) program, which helps small businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals compete for federal contracts, there's a rule requiring that construction subcontracts be awarded within the county or state where the work is performed. This bill eliminates that geographic restriction, giving 8(a) contractors more flexibility to choose subcontractors based on qualifications rather than location. It's especially relevant for businesses in rural or remote areas like Alaska and Hawaii, where local subcontractors may be scarce.
