Chapter 387 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new section: In order to increase contracting opportunities for small business concerns owned and controlled by veterans, the Secretary shall establish a goal for each fiscal year for participation in Department contracts (including subcontracts) by small business concerns owned and controlled by veterans that is not less than the Governmentwide goal for that fiscal year for participation by small business concerns owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans under section 15(g)(1) of the Small Business Act ( 15 U.S.C. 644(g)(1) ).
For purposes of meeting the goals under subsection (a), a contracting officer may award a contract to a small business concern owned and controlled by veterans using procedures other than competitive procedures if— such concern is determined to be a responsible source with respect to performance of such contract; the anticipated award price of the contract (including options) will not exceed the amounts established in section 36(c)(2) of the Small Business Act ( 15 U.S.C. 657f(c)(2) ); and in the estimation of the contracting officer, the contract award can be made at a fair and reasonable price that offers best value to the United States.
Except as provided in subsection (b), for purposes of meeting the goals under subsection
(a)and in accordance with this section, a contracting officer may award contracts on the basis of competition restricted to small business concerns owned and controlled by veterans if the contracting officer has a reasonable expectation that two or more small business concerns owned and controlled by veterans will submit offers and that the award can be made at a fair and reasonable price that offers best value to the United States. A small business concern may be awarded a contract under this section only if the small business concern and the veteran owner of the small business concern are listed in the database described in section 36(f)(1) of the Small Business Act ( 15 U.S.C. 657f(f)(1) ). In this section, the terms small business concern , small business concern owned and controlled by veterans , and small business concern owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans have the meanings given, respectively, under section 3 of the Small Business Act ( 15 U.S.C. 632 ). .
