(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 con-
tracts, 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 sur-
passing $100,000,000 in obligations for the first time 
between 2013 and 2014; 
(3) in fiscal year 2017, 17 of the 20 largest Fed-
eral contract opportunities are multiple award con-
tracts; 
(4) while Federal agencies may choose to use any 
or all of the various socio-economic groups on a mul-
tiple award contract, the Small Business Administra-
tion 
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.
