Veteran-Owned Small Business Program

The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization supports strategies that expand opportunities for veteran-owned small businesses.  We encourage and advocate the use of veteran-owned firms as sourcing resources for our internal and external customers.  We promote contracting opportunities for veteran-owned businesses and strongly encourage utilization of these resources to the maximum extend practicable.  We have implemented a mentor-protégé program, service disabled veteran-owned small business initiative, and support industry-wide as well as industry specific outreach and training.
