GSA works so that small businesses, including disadvantaged, women-owned, HUBZone-certified, veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses have many opportunities to participate in the federal procurement process. In particular, GSA's Office of Small Business Utilization (SBU) assists small businesses by answering many questions that are submitted by phone, email, letters and in person.
SBU has many resources to help small businesses compete. One valuable resource is the Doing Business with GSA booklet, which is geared toward new and prospective small businesses. It explains the process, offers practical advice and lists helpful websites. Businesses looking for regional procurement opportunities can review opportunities by region. Those businesses seeking subcontracting opportunities can review GSA's subcontracting directory.
