Defense officials are seeking input by October 25 on how they can make the department’s contracting opportunities more attractive to small businesses.
“The participation of dynamic, resilient, and innovative small businesses in the defense industrial base is critical to the United States’ efforts to maintain its technological superiority, military readiness, and warfighting advantage,” said a request for comments in the Federal Register on Sept. 8. “The department seeks public input on the barriers that small businesses face in working with the department. This input will be used to update the department’s Small Business Strategy led by the DoD Office of Small Business Programs.”
