To increase opportunities for veterans with service-connected disabilities to participate in Department of Defense procurement actions.

Summary

Deems a veteran with a service-connected disability to be considered a socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, thus permitting such individuals to be included in a target group of minorities for which the Department of Defense seeks to obligate five percent of all DOD procurement contracts during FY 1987 through 1989. Amends the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989 to include small business concerns owned and controlled by veterans with service-connected disabilities as businesses eligible for the minority contract goal for defense procurement contract awards.
