Meet with a Small Business Specialist
The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU), pursuant to Public Law 95-507, is tasked with fostering the use of small businesses as federal contractors. To accomplish this task, the OSDBU develops and implements appropriate outreach programs aimed at heightening the awareness of the small business community to the contracting opportunities available within the Department. Outreach efforts include activities such as sponsoring small business fairs and procurement conferences as well as participating in trade group seminars, conventions, and other forums that promote the utilization of small business as contractors.
