H.R. 4615 — Small Business Payment for Performance Act of 2025

This section requires agencies to provide interim partial payments of at least 50 percent of estimated additional costs to small business construction contractors when a contracting officer directs changes to contract performance without the contractor’s agreement. It mandates that recipients flow down the attributable portion of each payment to affected first-tier subcontractors and requires the Small Business Administration to issue implementing rules within 90 days.
