DLA Office of Small Business Programs Hosts:

The DLA Office of Small Business Programs provides training, advice, guidance and strategies to maximize opportunities for small businesses to participate in DLA's acquisition program, both as prime contractors and subcontractors. 

Subcontracting to prime vendors is a great way for small firms to “get a foot in the door” of government contracting. In these arrangements, small firms provide goods or services that
support a large initiative while gaining valuable experience and past performance.
The intent of Congress is that a fair proportion of the government’s procurement's are awarded to small businesses. To promote this effort, Congress enacted Public Law 95-507 that requires
all acquisitions exceeding $700,000 ($1,500,000 for construction) that have subcontracting possibilities, will provide subcontracting opportunities for small businesses. Subcontracting
offers small firms an important means of participating in DLA or federal government procurement's even though they may not be ready to bid as a prime contractor.

You'll learn about opportunities and be able to position your company and services within DLA group of vendors and service providers.
