In BNL’s prime contract with the Department of Energy, we have contractual goals for various types of small businesses throughout every fiscal year in the following small business using categories:

1. Small Business (SB)
2. Small Business Administration Certified Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB)

Because of the efforts made by BNL procurement personnel, we make or surpass our goals every year !

This is because we WANT to do business with small businesses - it makes good business sense.

Small business is the engine that drives the country and that keeps BNL running.
