Welcome to the U.S. Census Bureau Small Business Opportunity Page! The purpose of our Opportunity Page is as follows:

  • Identify potential small businesses (searching NAICS codes) for use by the Census Bureau, its Program (requiring) offices and prime contractors.
  • Conduct efficient and effective market research for requirements.
  • Create awareness of the benefits of working with small businesses.
  • To increase opportunities for contract and subcontract awards to small businesses.
  • Share information via the Internet.
  • To publish the annual 'Forecast of Contract Opportunities' which lists upcoming requirements.
  • Establish partnerships with internal customers, and industry to obtain feedback, improve customer service, achieve goals and disseminate information.
