About SBO

The Small Business Development Office develops and implements programs that assist small businesses, small businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, women-owned small businesses, and service disabled veteran-owned small businesses obtain procurement opportunities with the FAA.

Provides leadership, direction, and oversight to the FAA in establishing and executing the agency’s policy and program governing the utilization of small business (SB) and women owned business in the FAA’s acquisition process. Establishes annual FAA-wide small business development program goals, mechanisms for monitoring/evaluating goal accomplishment, and program effectiveness.

One of the most valuable tools the FAA has in meeting its’commitment to expanding procurement opportunities for small businesses is the Federal procurement goaling process. Congress, the Office of the Secretary of Transportation, and the FAA set goals for the inclusion of small business in Federal agency’s procurements to promote small business development and ensure good Corporate Citizenship by those who dispense Federal dollars for the good of the nation and the small business community.
