Federal agencies already get graded each year on how much government contract work they hand out to small businesses — this is meant to encourage agencies to spread taxpayer-funded contracts beyond just the same large, established companies. The SPUR Act would add a new item to that annual report card: agencies would have to track and report how many small businesses are winning a federal contract for the very first time, specifically among businesses owned by service-disabled veterans, women, economically or socially disadvantaged individuals, or businesses located in struggling areas designated for extra support (known as HUBZones). In practice, this means the government would start measuring not just whether small businesses get contracts, but whether new businesses from these groups are actually breaking in and getting their first opportunity, rather than the same repeat winners getting counted over and over.
