Our goal is to increase the U.S. Department of Labor's utilization of all types of small businesses, the Department's Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) sponsors Small Business Vendor Outreach Sessions (VOS).
These sessions offer small businesses the opportunity to
market their capabilities directly to OSDBU and agency program
officials and learn about potential Department procurement
opportunities. Conversely, Department procurement officials can learn
more about the diverse small business resources available to meet their
procurement needs.
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) program offices have a responsibility for procuring their own goods and services in support of the agency's mission.
Total spend is valued at approximately $2 billion each fiscal year.
The Virtual Small Business Vendor Outreach Session offers small businesses the opportunity to obtain information on small business-related matters, insight on what program offices buy, and an understanding about planned requirements. Most importantly, small businesses will meet directly with procurement and program officials.
