Small Business Resource Page
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") recognizes the important contributions made by small, veteran, and minority and women-owned businesses to our economy. For that reason, we strive to provide small businesses with opportunities to contract with the FDIC. In futherance of this goal, the FDIC has initiated the FDIC Small Business Resources Effort to assist the small vendors that provide products, services, and solutions to the FDIC.
The objective of the Small Business Resource Effort is to provide information and the tools small vendors need to become better positioned to compete for contracts and subcontracts at the FDIC. To achieve this objective, the Small Business Resource Effort references outside resources critical for qualified vendors, leverages technology to provide education according to perceived needs, and offers connectivity through resourcing, accessibility, counseling, coaching and guidance where applicable.
