Justice Management Division...Serving Justice - Securing Results

Welcome to the Department of Justice's Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU)! Here in the OSDBU we are ever striving to improve and increase the Department's performance in utilizing small, small disadvantaged, small women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses as contractors and subcontractors. Our various bureaus spend approximately two billion dollars a year in the private sector. Currently, more than 42 percent of those dollars go to small businesses, with 10 to 15 percent going to minority-owned firms and 3 to 5 percent going to women-owned companies.

The OSDBU Director and the Deputy Attorney General are committed to encouraging and assisting well-qualified and skillful small, minority, and women-owned businesses seeking contracts with the Department. The acquisition function in the Justice Department has been assigned to each of our bureaus' contracting staffs, most of which are located in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. We've prepared several avenues to assist you in getting better acquainted with the requirements and procurement practices of the bureaus that make up "the largest law firm in the Nation."
