Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utililization
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is committed to increasing the contracting opportunities awarded to small and disadvantaged businesses. The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) is responsible for administering this program.
Our Mission
Our mission is to serve as the agency's focal point for small businesses interested in doing business with the Department of Energy (DOE). The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Utilization (OSDBU) administers the Department's small business program by establishing goals, promulgating policy, and developing practices and programs to encourage and increase small business participation in departmental procurement opportunities. For additional information on OSDBU's goals and objectives, please read our 2008 Strategic Plan.
Specifically, the OSDBU assists small businesses in identifying prime and subcontracting opportunities available for small business participation. Small businesses include small disadvantaged, 8(a), women-owned, service-disabled businesses, and businesses located in Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZones).
To see the list of contracting opportunities available at the Department, please see our website on DOE Acquisition Forecast of Prime Contracting and Subcontracting Opportunities.
