Small Business Office

Welcome to the Walla Walla District’s Small Business Office. It is this District’s intent to provide access to Department of Defense (DoD) contracting opportunities to our nation’s small business community.

Contracting with the Walla Walla District and other Federal Agencies can be found advertised at the FedBizOpps web site. In addition, all of Walla Walla District’s advertised solicitations over $10,000 can be viewed at http://www.nww.usace.army.mil/ebs/AdvertisedSolicitations.asp . Large businesses looking for small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, small women-owned businesses, Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) businesses and veteran-owned small businesses for subcontracting opportunities should actively research the Central Contractor Registration web site.

The DoD Indian Incentive Program (IIP) strives to provide opportunities to Indian organizations and Indian-owned economic enterprises by providing for the payment of 5 percent of the amount subcontracted to an Indian organization or Indian-owned economic enterprise at any sub-tier, when authorized under the terms of the contract. Large businesses interested in the Indian Incentive program should visit DoD’s IIP web site.

All small businesses should visit the Small Business Administration web site. Small Disadvantaged Businesses seeking DoD contracting opportunities should apply for certification at the Small Business Administration’s Small Disadvantaged Business web site. The 8(a) Business Development application is now electronic and can be located at http://www.sba.gov/8abd. Small businesses interested in consideration for HUBZone status should visit the Small Business Administration HUBZone web site.

DoD has undertaken an aggressive outreach effort to identify small business concerns that are owned and operated by Veterans and Service-Disabled Veterans. Please proceed to the following web site for more information and resources http://www.acq.osd.mil/sadbu/programs/veterans/index.htm.
