Provisions of Interest in the FY2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)

When the 4400+ page FY23 NDAA final text came out last week, the MSGI team created a provisions of interest summary for our clients within 24 hours. While there are many important changes included for contractors, we are particularly excited about these three we championed on behalf of our clients:

1. Sec. 871 – Expands reporting requirements for the SBA procurement scorecard. Requires each agency to include the number and total dollar amount of sole source and set–aside awards made to SBA’s contracting programs: 8(a), women–owned small businesses (WOSBs), HUBZone small businesses, and service–disabled veteran–owned small businesses (SDVOSBs). HUBZone Contractors National Council has been saying this is necessary for a long time.

2. Sec. 873 – Strengthens SBA's annual report on contract consolidation by requiring federal agencies to share bundling data with the SBA, including other data requirements. This chips away at the usage of category management, making it harder to consolidate contracts by increasing reporting requirements. Good data is a critical piece to successful advocacy and these provisions serve as building blocks to the success of our other policy priorities.

3. Sec. 822 – Allows prime or subcontractors to request modification for economic inflation. Guidance from DoD’s AUSD must be issued 90 days after NDAA passage - the final conference report (aka: final bill) has passed the House, with the Senate teed up to pass it soon. We can't count the number of contractors that have come to us looking for solutions on this issue.

Sharing our document here in case it is helpful. Advocacy is a powerful tool, and we work every day to find practical policy solutions for practical business problems. Drop us a line if you want to discuss how we can help you solve some of your business pain points.
