OSBP

The Office of Small Business Programs is the office within each major federal agency responsible for promoting small business participation in agency contracting. OSBP directors advise agency leadership on small business matters, work with contracting offices to identify set-aside opportunities, and track progress toward agency small business goals.

OSBPs provide market research assistance, host matchmaking events, and connect small businesses with program offices. Building relationships with OSBP staff helps small contractors understand upcoming opportunities and navigate agency procurement processes. OSBP personnel can advocate for small business consideration in acquisition strategies.
