Creates a new rule in the Small Business Act that makes small businesses that win Federal contracts by falsely claiming their goods or services are made in the United States subject to the existing penalties and remedies for false certifications. The law applies the same set of sanctions already in statute but shortens one specified time period in the listed remedies from 5 years to 3 years when those remedies are applied to these small businesses. The change increases enforcement risk for small vendors that misrepresent the origin of products or services in federal procurement and shifts how long a particular remedy applies to them, while otherwise relying on existing penalty authorities.
