Welcome to the South Atlantic Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Atlanta, Georgia,  Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization  Office. 

    Small Business is the heart of the U.S. economy and a very vital part of the Corps’ acquisition policy. The South Atlantic Division fully supports the national policy of providing small and disadvantaged businesses the opportunity to provide supplies and services. The  South Atlantic Division consists of five district offices (Charleston (SC), Jacksonville (FL), Mobile (AL), Savannah (GA), Wilmington (NC) as well as the Division Office. Each of these offices has a Chief, Small Business Office. It is our intent to facilitate small businesses  access to contracting opportunities, train and counsel businesses for success, provide the  most current small business initiatives and project status, and establish a broad base of capable suppliers to support the Army’s mission. We look forward to assisting small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned small businesses, historically underutilized business zone small businesses, veteran-owned small businesses and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses in competing for prime contracts and  subcontracting opportunities with large businesses.
