Welcome to the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU)
Welcome to the USDA’s Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU). We work to ensure that the Department’s purchasing agencies engage small businesses - the "engines that drive the Nation’s economy" - so that we have a dynamic, diverse and reliable small vendor pool. OSDBU’s aim is to position USDA so that it achieves its Small Business Procurement Goals for prime and subcontracts awarded to:
- Small,
- Small Disadvantaged,
- 8(a),
- Woman-Owned,
- Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone), and
- Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned small businesses.
