What the agency says
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA or Agency) publishes this document to clarify a direct final rule published on June 6, 2024. SBA revised its regulations to implement a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (NDAA 2024), which eliminates self-certification for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) that are awarded Federal Government contracts or subcontracts that count towards agency or subcontracting goals. SBA received seven comments but did not receive significant adverse comment.
