It includes provisions for a scorecard program, best-in-class addendum, mentor-protege reporting, and participation in federal procurement. The act also sets a governmentwide goal for veteran-owned small businesses at not less than 5 percent of the total value of all prime contract and subcontract awards for each fiscal year.
