DHS Vendor Outreach Session

The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU), in conjunction with our operational Small Business Specialists (SBS) appointed in each organizational component, sponsors a series of small business vendor outreach sessions, featuring pre-arranged 15-minute appointments with the SBS. These sessions provide the small business community an opportunity to discuss their capabilities and learn of potential procurement opportunities.

Scheduled participants from DHS include representatives from DHS Headquarters Office of Procurement Operations (HQOPO), the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), the U.S. Secret Service (USSS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a representative from our Small Business Innovative Research Program (SBIR) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

In addition to sessions featuring meetings with the DHS SBS, we will have meetings available with DHS large business prime contractors to discuss subcontracting opportunities, mentor-protégé relationships, teaming and other potential topics of mutual interest.
