I think within their own committee's report, it says the section would amend to define the terms ``open access'' and ``competitive procedures'' as the operative elements of the new competition standard. According to the new definition, open access would be achieved when all responsible sources are permitted to submit offers under competitive procedures, and then they define competitive procedures. Competitive procedures would be defined as those under which an agency enters into a contract pursuant to full and open competition that provides open access and is consistent with the Government's needs to efficiently fulfill its requirements. That is the concern of small business.
