## Mission

The Office of Government and General Contracting's mission is to help enhance the effectiveness of small business programs by working with Government Contracting and Business Development program offices and others to develop policies, regulations, and statutory changes.

## About our office

The Office of Government Contracting & Business Development (GC & BD) works to create an environment for maximum participation by small, disadvantaged, and woman-owned businesses in federal government contract awards and large prime subcontract awards.Under the Small Business Act, federal agencies conduct a variety of procurements that are reserved exclusively for small business participation. Currently, the overall small business goal is 23%. This includes the specific goals of 5% to Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), 3% to service disabled veterans, 5% to small disadvantaged businesses, and 3% to HUBZone firms. 

GC & BD also administers several programs and services that assist small businesses in meeting the requirements to receive government contracts. These include the Certificate of Competency, the Non-Manufacturer Rule Waiver, and the Size Determination programs. The office also oversees special initiatives such as the Women's Procurement program, the Veterans Procurement program, the Procurement Awards program, and the Annual Joint Industry/SBA Procurement Conference.

###         Win government contracts      

SBA offers guidance and resources that can help you win government contracts and throughout the contract’s lifecycle.

Determine whether your business qualifies as small by using the SBA Size Standards Tool.

###         Additional guidance       

The Small Business Procurement Scorecard is an annual report summarizing how well the government served small, disadvantaged businesses financially, percent of federal contracts awarded, and other measurable information.

The nonmanufacturer rule applies to independently owned and operated businesses who want to compete for set-aside or sole-source supply contracts to supply products they did not manufacture.
