What the document says

“examine any relationship of a small business concern seeking an award to any entity or individual included on the lists described in subsections (g)(16)(D) and (o)(20)(D).”

To extend the SBIR and STTR programs, and for other purposes, Sec. 2

Subsection (a)(3)(C) adds a new subparagraph (C) to subsection (vv)(2). It ties the due diligence program to the eight lists this section put into subsections (g) and (o), by calling for an examination of any relationship between an applicant firm and any entity or individual on those lists.

What the document actually says

“examine any relationship of a small business concern seeking an award to any entity or individual included on the lists described in subsections (g)(16)(D) and (o)(20)(D).”

To extend the SBIR and STTR programs, and for other purposes, Sec. 2
That sentence, in plain words

The check must look for any link to a listed group or person. The lists are the ones named earlier in this part.

What this is about

The same eight lists are used twice. They are a ground to say no. They are also part of the check itself.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
