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."
