FEMA’s Small Business Program’s (SBP) mission is to assist small businesses in the pursuit of federal procurements. The SBP office actively engages with FEMA’s procurement personnel to ensure that small businesses have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in contracts.



It also provides education opportunities to learn about the policies and procedures that affect small business federal contracting.  FEMA’s Small Business Program (SBP) is part of the DHS Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU).



Resources for Small Business Owners



In addition to visiting your local Procurement Technical Assistance Center****(PTAC) and registering in SAM.gov, you can also visit the Small Business Administration (SBA) to learn how to start your own business and to learn more about:

      What do the titles WOSB, SDVOSB, SDB, HUBZone, 8(a) mean?
These are Small Business Administration (SBA) small business programs.
    If contracts are procured under GSA's Federal Supply Schedule, OASIS, or another pre-positioned vehicle, will this work be listed in APFS?
Yes. Almost all procurements over $250K are published in the DHSAPFS.
    Where can I submit information about the capabilities of my company?
If you would like, you can complete a vendor profile form (VPF).
    Where can I find information about agency goals for socioeconomic categories of businesses?
You can find information about the federal goals and achievements.
    We provide educational services. Does FEMA have requirements for these kinds of procurements?
Sometimes FEMA will go to the open market to solicit educational services but the strategic sourcing vehicle, HCaTS, is a pre-positioned category management vehicle that FEMA is mandated to apply our requirements to before we can look at other options. HCaTS is a human capital and training vehicle at the federal level.
    I have a commodity or service which FEMA is not aware of and that I think FEMA may be interested in. How do I make FEMA aware?
You can visit DHS's webpage to learn about the Federal Acquisition Regulations related to unsolicited proposals. To submit an unsolicited proposal to FEMA, please send an email to fema-ocpo-unsolicited-proposal@fema.dhs.gov.
