President Obama’s signature on the NDAA is a critical move that will now allow women-owned small businesses to earn their fair share of the federal marketplace and gain economic opportunities. Section 825 of the NDAA authorizes federal agencies to award sole-source contracts to women-owned small businesses eligible for the Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contract Program, giving women the same level of access to the federal contracting marketplace as other disadvantaged groups.
