The Federal Small Business Program is designed to preserve and enhance the country’s economic and national security interests. Small businesses are one of the most productive means of expanding our sources of supplies and services, as well as increasing competition.

Small businesses are encouraged to do business with the Department of Defense, which is continuously seeking additional suppliers that fall within the following categories:

• Small businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged persons

• Small businesses owned by women

• Small businesses owned by veterans, including service-disabled veterans

• Small businesses that qualify as HUBZone

If you are a small business or educational institution and are interested in providing services to DMEA, please contact:
