WASHINGTON – Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, Maria Contreras-Sweet, applauded the signing into
law of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2015. President Obama’s signature on the NDAA is a
critical move that will now allow women-owned small businesses to earn their fair share of the federal marketplace and gain
economic opportunities. Section 825 of the NDAA authorizes federal agencies to award sole-source contracts to women-owned
small businesses eligible for the Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contract Program, giving women the same level
of access to the federal contracting marketplace as other disadvantaged groups.
Pending Implementing Guidance from the Small Business Administration and Defense Acquisition Regulations Council
