About the Office of Small Business Programs

The Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) advances the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE’s) mission by maximizing small business opportunities. 

Learn more about the OSBP team.

OSBP's History dates back to when Public Law 95-507 (October 1978) amended the original Small Business Investment Act of 1958 (SBAct). Public Law 95-507 established the requirement for every Federal Agency to have a Small Business Office to make Federal procurements more readily accessible to all small businesses. This policy provides maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to small businesses.
