OSD OSBP is a policy office that advises the Secretary of
Defense and the Under Secretary of Defense (AT&L) on small
business acquisition programs. This office does not award contracts
or subcontracts. Contracting is done through the Military Services
and the Defense Agencies. Our contacts page lists DoD Small
Business Offices involved with SDVOSB related contracting.
As a Veteran, you probably have several questions about how to
do business with the Department of Defense. We recommend first
determining if your business qualifies as a service-disabled
veteran-owned small business. Certain set-aside and sole source
contracts are available for service-disabled veteran-owned small
businesses. See our Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ) for more information.
Veteran’s and service-disabled veterans interested in
marketing their business to the DoD should review our 10 step guide for
doing business with the DoD.

DoD Strategies for Implementing Executive Order
13360:
Presidential Executive Order 13360 calls for a
significant increase in federal contracting and subcontracting
opportunities for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The
central feature of the Executive Order calls for all Federal
agencies to develop a strategic plan to significantly increase its
contracting and subcontracting with small businesses owned and
controlled by service-disabled veterans. The Department of Defense
has put a bold and aggressive plan in place in response to
Presidential Executive Order 13360.
