Federal agencies would have to report how many small businesses win their first direct federal contract. The bill adds this to agency scorecards, but it does not create new contract goals or new funding.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Latest action on H.R. 818: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects small businesses trying to get their first direct federal contract. It also affects federal agencies and the Small Business Administration, which helps oversee small business contracting. The bill matters most for groups that already have special small business contracting categories, because agencies would have to show how many first-time winners come from those groups.
Why this matters: New small businesses often struggle to break into federal contracting. This bill would show whether agencies are bringing in new firms or mostly using businesses that already have federal work. The data could help lawmakers and the public spot gaps across industries and business groups. But the bill only changes reporting, so any real change in contract awards would depend on later action.
