Section 15 of the Small Business Act ( 15 U.S.C. 644 ) is amended by adding at the end the following: An agency shall provide a contracting preference for a Puerto Rico business during the period beginning on the date of enactment of this subsection and ending on the date on which the Oversight Board established under section 101 of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act ( 48 U.S.C. 2121 ) terminates. The preference under this subsection shall take priority over any preference for purchasing from the procurement list established pursuant to section 8503 of title 41, United States Code, or the Federal Prison Industries catalog described under section 4124(d) of title 18, United States Code.
If an agency awards a contract to a Puerto Rico business as described in paragraph (1), the value of the contract shall be doubled for purposes of determining compliance with the goals for procurement contracts under subsection (g)(1)(A). .
