Statement of Work

OSDBU

Office Mission The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (SB) ensures all legislatively specified categories of small businesses in prime contracts and subcontracts are effectively utilized to the maximum extent possible, as mandated in the Small Business Act, Section 15k.

The Office reports directly to the Secretary of Energy, and provides functional direction and oversight of Headquarters and field personnel in regards to the execution of these programs.

The Office champions small business interests in the Department's acquisition process and provides to the small business community training and counseling on how to do business with the Department of Energy in order to expand the base of small business firms selling to the Department. OSDBU provides training and counseling to internal customers regarding contracting with small businesses as well as assisting offices in identifying resources that result in increased opportunities for small businesses. OSDBU conducts acquisition reviews and subcontracting reviews to ensure small business consideration and participation in DOE acquisitions. Our customers are the Department of Energy, including the National Nuclear Security Administration, and DOE field offices; the small business community, large business prime contractors; and small businesses trade.

In accordance with the Small Business Act, OSDBU accomplishes its mission through outreach, training, and communication with internal and external customers and businesses.

The Granicus, GovDelivery Communications Cloud provides the unique and specific small business company category designations (i.e. small business, small disadvantaged business, women owned business, service disabled veteran owned business and certified HUBzone small business) pre-loaded into the software, saving OSDBU time and money to otherwise have these designated companies categorically identified and uploaded. This value add allows OSDBU to maximize performance, increase outreach capacity and return on investment swiftly.
