HHS Small Business Staff and Specialists

Communicating with the Small Business Staff

If you are seeking general information about doing business with HHS or if you wish to share a capability statement, it is most helpful if you direct your communication electronically to our mailbox. This allows us to quickly determine how best to respond to you. Inquiries that are sent to the wrong staff person or to multiple members of our staff, only delay our response process in getting you the information that you need. Please submit to: sbmail@hhs.gov

If you know your area of interest or the Staff Specialist you wish to speak to, please contact them directly based on their key subject matter or program expertise.

If you are unsure of the appropriate person to speak to, please contact our Headquarters office in Washington, D.C.
