The small and disadvantaged business program relates to small, socially,
and economically disadvantaged (including 8 (a) which is named for the
authorizing section of the Small Business Act), and small women-owned
businesses, and the minority bank deposit initiative. The program's thrust is
to increase participation opportunities for small businesses in the
Department's contract and grant activities; conduct outreach to increase
awareness and availability of qualified providers; develop and issue
information on the Department's procurement needs and procedures; train
Department staff on program requirements and capabilities; and monitor,
evaluate, and report results of the Department's efforts.
