Small Business Fairness in Contracting Act

Summary

Small Business Fairness in Contracting Act - Amends the Small Business Act to, among other things: (1) revise and add to Small Business Administration (SBA) requirements concerning contract bundling; (2) increase the government-wide goal for participation by small business concerns in federal procurement and service contracts; (3) include overseas contracts in such goal; and (4) require certain small businesses to annually recertify compliance with maximum small business size standards for eligibility for SBA-awarded contracts and subcontracts. Directs the SBA Administrator to: (1) develop and maintain a database to assist small businesses in marketing to large corporations that have not achieved their small business goals; (2) contact registered small businesses regarding the likelihood of federal contracting opportunities; (3) prescribe regulations governing SBA review of subcontracting plans; (4) ensure that whenever a small business loses a protest over its size, a notification is placed adjacent to the listing for that business in the Central Contractor Registry; and (5) ensure a biannual review of such Registry to purge businesses no longer considered small businesses.
