1. Findings Congress finds that— (1) since the passage of the Budget Control Act of 2011 ( Public Law 112–25 ; 125 Stat. 240), many Federal agencies have started favoring longer-term Federal contracts, including multiple award contracts, over direct individual awards; (2) these multiple award contracts have grown to more than one-fifth of Federal contract spending, with the fastest growing multiple award contracts surpassing $100,000,000 in obligations for the first time between 2013 and 2014; (3) in fiscal year 2017, 17 of the 20 largest Federal contract opportunities are multiple award contracts; (4) while Federal agencies may choose to use any or all of the various socio-economic groups on a multiple award contract, the Small Business Administration only examines socio-economic performance through the small business procurement scorecard and does not examine potential opportunities by those groups; and (5) Congress and the Department of Justice have been clear that no individual socio-economic group shall be given preference over another. 2.
