Immediate OSDBU Staff and Their Program Areas

"Communicating with OSDBU"

When making a general program inquiry, forwarding a capability statement or expressing interest in doing business with HHS, please direct your inquiry to one specific member of the staff rather than to the entire body. This will greatly assist us in helping you while avoiding multiple responses on our part. If your inquiry requires attention by someone other than the person you direct it to, please be assured it will be re-directed accordingly. If you are not sure who to talk with, give our main office a call and we will guide you in the right direction.

To assist small businesses in their marketing efforts we have provided a list of our staff with their key program areas. We suggest you contact the appropriate person by telephone or e-mail.
