The U.S. Department of the Interior Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization program strives to improve and increase the Department's performance in utilizing small, small disadvantaged, HUBZone, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses as contractors and subcontractors. Our various bureaus spend approximately 1.5 billion dollars a year in the private sector. Currently, more than 49 percent of those dollars go to small businesses, with 18 percent going to small disadvantaged business, 9.6 percent going to 8 (a); 9.7 percent going to HUBZones; 8 percent going to women-owned; and 1.5 going to service disabled veterans.
Mark Oliver, Director of OSDBU and the Honorable Dirk Kempthorne, Secretary of the Interior, are committed to encouraging and assisting well-qualified and skillful small, minority, and women-owned businesses seeking contracts with the Department. The acquisition function in the Department has been assigned to each of our bureaus' contracting staffs, most of which are located in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. However, we do have acquisition functions west of the Mississippi River.
We welcome you to visit the rest of our links to discover how to do business with the Department of the Interior - your Federal guardian of our Nation's natural and cultural heritage.
Please read the Small Business Acquisition Policy Letter  from the Secretary of the Interior, Dirk Kempthorne.
