What is the Army doing for WOSB outreach?
The Army has over 200 Small Business Specialists located at individual installations throughout the United States. These specialists: · provide training and marketing assistance to firms through personal contacts, various procurement conferences, and trade shows;· meet periodically with prime contractors, procurement technical assistance representatives, and SBA representatives to discuss best practices and to initiate actions to increase awards to WOSBs;· ensure that acquisition strategies identify possible opportunities for small businesses. The Director of the Office of Small Business Programs periodically visits commanders of installations and executives of the top defense prime contractors, to discuss their Small Business Program and to emphasize the Army’s commitment to maximize opportunities for WOSBs.
