The Simplifying Subcontracting Act mandates plain writing in subcontract solicitations to enhance clarity for small businesses.
The Simplifying Subcontracting Act amends the Small Business Act to require prime contractors to communicate subcontract solicitations in plain writing. This ensures that small businesses can easily understand the terms. The Small Business Administration must issue regulations within 90 days to enforce this requirement. If a prime contractor fails to comply, they must re-solicit the subcontract in plain writing within 30 days of the determination.
