Abstract

The Department of Energy's (DOE) Small Business Program is characterized by its diligent involvement in the procurement process to enhance participation by small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, labor surplus area firms, and women-owned businesses. The DOE's primary means of securing an equitable proportion of transactions for these businesses are total set-asides, partial set-asides, 8(a) sole source procurements, and 8(a) competitive procurements. Throughout the DOE's infrastructure, all DOE organizational elements are committed to successfully implement the Small Business Program. The Department's commitment includes developing substantial opportunities in both prime contracting and subcontracting and encompasses special preference programs to enhance awards to such businesses.
