                                    S. 938
                    Procurement Fraud Prevention Act

         As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security
                    and Governmental Affairs on July 26, 2017


S. 938 would require the General Services Administration (GSA) in consultation with the
Office of Management and Budget, to ensure that any direct communications with small
businesses about providing goods and services to the federal government contain a notice
that technical assistance from the federal government on the procurement process is
available to small businesses at no cost. According to GSA and the Small Business
Administration, many government websites already state that such assistance is available
and there would be minimal administrative costs to expand those efforts. Thus, CBO
estimates any additional costs to implement S. 938 would total less than $500,000
annually; such spending would be subject to the available of appropriated funds.

Enacting S. 938 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.

CBO estimates that enacting S. 938 would not increase direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

S. 938 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal
governments.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Matthew Pickford. This estimate was approved
by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
