Transparency and Predictability in Small Business Opportunities Act This bill requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) to issue rules for disclosing information about federal contract solicitations for which small businesses were eligible and that were issued and cancelled. Under the rules for such a solicitation, an agency must provide (1) a justification for the cancellation, (2) information about any plans to reissue the solicitation and any associated time frames, and (3) information about any plans to include the requirements of the solicitation in another contract or task order of the agency. Additionally, for such solicitations that an agency does not intend to reissue, the SBA must provide procedures for the agency to refer a small business that prepared a bid for such covered solicitation to the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization for assistance in identifying similar contracting opportunities.

The lobbying table lists Senate LDA quarterly reports (LD-2) that cite this bill by number and cover a quarter of the 119th Congress. An LD-2 names a bill as “H.R. 1234” with no Congress, so a report on another Congress, which can only concern a different bill with the same number, is left out, even when it was filed after this Congress began. The amount is what the registrant reported for the whole filing, across every issue on it, not spending on this bill. Official actions and the bill summary come from Congress.gov, and votes from the roll-call record. This page no longer pairs the bill with members' stock trades: matching lobbying clients to traded companies by name, and trades to a bill by date, is not something the records establish.
Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
