Create a federal contracting program for territorial small businesses

Moylan introduced the Territorial Small Business Development Act to create a dedicated program under the Small Business Administration’s Section 8(a) authority. It would support qualifying businesses owned and controlled by residents of Guam and other Pacific territories in pursuing federal contracts, with the stated aim of helping them grow, hire locally, and retain more federal investment in their economies.

Context: The program would be limited to qualifying businesses owned and controlled by residents of Guam and other Pacific territories; the passage does not give further qualification criteria.
