FBI Small Business Program
Overview
The FBI’s Finance and Facilities Division's Small Business Program (SBP) is responsible for implementing the program, as well as supporting both internal and external entities.
The SBP assists with small business utilization, ensuring small business interests are given the maximum consideration in procuring goods and services. The program encourages the use of set-asides or partial set asides when there is an expectation that two or more small businesses have the capabilities to provide goods or services at reasonable market rates.
The program also monitors the FBI's progress in meeting small business goals in each category to include:
- Small Business
- 8(a)
- Small and Disadvantaged
- HUBZone
- Service-Disabled Veteran Owned
