Proposed Legislation to Notify Small Businesses of Free Procurement Assistance | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update

Senators Gary Peters (D-MI) and Susan Collins (R-ME) have introduced legislation to help protect small businesses from falling victim to fraud when they register to procure federal contracts. The “Procurement Fraud Prevention Act” would require small businesses to be notified that free assistance is available for help in procuring government contracts through federal programs. Free assistance is available through the various Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) the Small Business Administration (SBA) and other organizations.
