Doing Business with the FBI

Doing Business with the FBI

The FBI’s Small Business Programs Office (SBPO) advocates for small, minority, service-disabled veteran, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, and women-owned small businesses. The SBPO promotes the use of small businesses throughout the Bureau, to include its 56 field offices. As the FBI is a Department of Justice (DOJ) agency, the SBPO receives policy direction and guidance from the director of DOJ’s Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization.

The Finance Division is responsible for the centralized procurement activities of the Bureau. The division is organized into six buying units and the Acquisition Strategy and Planning Unit (ASAPU). The SBPO is a part of the ASAPU, which is responsible for providing strategic planning support and guidance to internal FBI customers. The buying units are organized to purchase supplies and services to meet the requirements of specific customers. The SBPO interacts with each of the six buying units to promote the use of small businesses and provide assistance in locating appropriate small businesses—ensuring that the Bureau complies with congressionally mandated procurement goals, federal acquisition regulations, and Department of Justice regulations. 

The SBPO is committed to ensuring that small business consideration is given priority in each procurement and encourages small businesses to pursue FBI procurements. The FBI’s procurement forecast is a part of the consolidated DOJ forecast, which can be found at http://www.justice.gov/jmd/osdbu/. Those interested may also attend DOJ vendor outreach sessions.

We look forward to hearing from you.
