I'm proud to help lead this bipartisan bill because I believe we can and should always work harder to ensure federal programs work efficiently for the American people. This legislation will strengthen our efforts to level the playing field for small businesses who want to compete in the federal marketplace while enabling the federal government to recruit and retain high-quality business partners.

Olszewski says he will help lead a bipartisan bill that streamlines SBA certification and adds transparency and reporting around small business contracting.

Evidence

The press-release listing says: “House Passes Bipartisan Olszewski-Wied Bill to Streamline Small Businesses Contracting.” It states that the House passed bipartisan legislation introduced by Johnny Olszewski and Tony Wied to help small businesses, including women-, veteran-, and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs, better compete for federal contracts. It identifies the bill as the “Oversight and Transparency for Small Business Certifications Act of 2026,” passed by voice vote and headed to the U.S. Senate.

Official House member source shows Olszewski introduced/co-led a bill directly matching the promise’s SBA certification, transparency, and federal-contracting subject matter, and that it passed the House in his first federal term.

Assessments

Olszewski promised to lead legislation on SBA certification, transparency, reporting, and processing timelines for small businesses competing for federal contracts. The evidence shows he introduced/co-led the Oversight and Transparency for Small Business Certifications Act of 2026, directly matching the subject matter, and that it passed the House by voice vote during his current 119th Congress House term. Because the promise was framed as leading legislation rather than securing final enactment, House passage of his bill in the same federal term is sufficient for delivery.
