The Senate makes the following findings: Exchange stores, as non-appropriated fund instrumentalities of the Department of Defense, are not required to give any preference to particular vendors or suppliers. Even so, exchange stores are uniquely positioned to feature products from small businesses, especially veteran-owned small businesses. It is the sense of the Senate to urge the Department to work with the military exchange services to develop strategies for featuring products of small businesses, particularly products of veteran-owned small businesses, in military exchange stores.
