Small Business Specialists
Abstract
One of the primary objectives of the Department of Defense is to acquire weapons and material which fully meet qualitative, quantitative, and delivery requirements--at the lowest overall cost. To achieve this objective, maximum emphasis is placed on full and open competition, with equal opportunity to all interested qualified suppliers to compete for defense contracts. The Military Services and Defense Agencies have contracting offices located throughout the United States. Each service and agency has an Office of the Director of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization. They also have Small Business Specialists at each of their procurement and contract management offices to assist small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned small businesses and labor surplus area firms in marketing their products and services with the DOD. These Specialists provide information and guidance on (1) defense procurement procedures, (2) how to be placed on the solicitation mailing lists, and (3) how to identify prime contract and subcontract opportunities. The location of Army, Navy, Air Force, Defense Logistics Agency, and other DOD procurement and contract management offices, together with the names of the Small Business Specialists, are listed in this publication by state and city, alphabetically. Some of the procurement offices listed in this pamphlet purchase only supplies and services required to meet local needs. Others have the broader assignment of central procurement responsibility for particular. commodity requirements of one or more of the military departments.
