Doing Business With DoDEA

DoDEA Office of Small Business Programs

DoDEA's Office of Small Business Programs is committed to increasing acquisition opportunities for small businesses. We understand how forming partnerships with the private sector enhance the DoDEA mission and support U.S. growth. Their contributions to our national economy in terms of innovation, job creation, efficiency, increased competition, reduced prices, and quality sources of supply warrant the inclusion to the greatest extent possible when making Federal contract award decisions.

The OSBP serves as the Agency's focal point for issues and practices concerning small business utilization. The office promotes the use of small, disadvantaged, women-owned, HUBZone, veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. In addition, OSBP provide assistance to small businesses by participating in and conducting outreach activities to ensure a fair portion of DoDEA's total acquisitions are awarded to small businesses pursuant to public law. Small businesses will be given an equitable opportunity to compete for all contracts that they can perform, consistent with the best interests of the Government.
