The Impact of Recent Executive Orders on Federal Contracting
Washington, D.C. — Presidential executive orders cutting programs and eliminating DEI initiatives have raised concerns about small business programs. The good news: these programs are protected by law and remain unchanged.
Programs Are Safe
The Small Business Act of 1958 protects key programs, which cannot be eliminated by executive order—only by Congress. Major programs like 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, and SDVOSB remain fully operational.
Stay Alert
Agency priorities may shift, so it’s important to monitor government spending and policy changes.
What to Do
• 1. Stay Informed – Follow updates from SBA and OMB.
• 2. Engage – Participate in advocacy efforts.
• 3. Monitor – Check SAM.gov for new opportunities.
Bottom line: Small business programs are protected by legislation — stay informed and proactive.
