Small Business Specialists.

Abstract

One of the primary objectives of the Department of Defense (DoD) 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, and women-owned small businesses 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.
